Mobile to Seattle

So how tough is it to go from Mobile, through the Panama Canal and up the west coast to Seattle? Are there lots of places to hide from bad weather or do you have to have a very seaworthy boat. Capt. Jeff Too bad you can't swap boats like some of my friends swap houses..... I have a friend who is in Orlando, living in a ham radio operator's house for a month (or more, maybe). The American ham is living in his house in Dublin, IE, for a month (or more, maybe). This is the third time they swapped houses in 4 years. My friend has lived in other hams' houses in about 8 countries over the years. They swap everything except their clothes. They drive each other's cars, on the wrong side of the road, of course. Last year they extended it another 2 weeks so my friend could go to some Irish festival or other and the Irish ham could wait for his daughter to come over for the Dizzy World with the grandkids. Everyone had a great time. Too bad boaters can't do something like that. Someone in Seattle would kill their mother to have a boat in Mobile to get out of the cold and rain for a while....(c; His boat has an enclosed cabin and HEATER no boat in Mobile is equipped with. Cap'n Jeff has AIR CONDITIONING noone in their right mind in Seattle would have to go with an open cockpit. |
