For some stupid reason a number of people insist I am the same person who
wants to cross the ocean in a MacGregor 26.

Why, I don't know. A simple google search would show that I have posted
here
before for years. Not everyone's idea of an ideal crusing boat is a big
monster that needs thousands of dollars to buy, plus docking fees, and/or
plus a trailer and the car powerful enough to move it safely-.

I am a person who has been camping about southern and northern Ontario for
almost two decades. And I don't mean camping where the local store is a
ten
minutes walk away from the camp site. Since I bought/built-up my cabin I
find I would like to see the landscapes you don't find in Ontario.

I also find that I am not a winter person, so why not put the canoe on top
of
the truck? Add some outriggers and go exploring elsewhere [South].

For some reason a number of people seem scare to move around the Bahamas
in a
canoe, they however will not say why the Bahamas is so dangerous. And as
for
the number of small islands, I have real doubts that every single piece of
land is private property or that if it is that a nice, polite inquiring
can
not find someone who is willing to let you camp overnight as long as you
clean up before you leave.

How strange, a cruising advice group that tries to discourage a person
without giving good reasons.

Please note, the main question I asked from the very beginning was never
touched/answered on how to transport the canoe to the Bahamas and back.

I also note that the only people who show any encouragement seem to be
Florida fans, no wonder all the SnowBirds go there.


Sorry. I missed the memo that said "give positive advice only". I gave you
a suggestion for your transport probelm and you chose to ignore the thread
mid conversation. Asshole! I think you need to try "alt.poor.little.me" in
future.
