Have you guys actually done this or is this just "expert bar-talk" ?

I've done it twice - Long Beach to Vancouver - that's why I said - Put
it in the water and drive it.

Of course, if you've got $3-8K you want to **** away and no taste for
life - take the wimp's way out.

I know a few folks with that experience. You are sailing into the
prevailing winds and a current. There are few spots to "bail out"
along the coast if you have a problem. Trucking seems to be a
consensus.

Check out http://www.wildrosesailing.com/talk_to_us.htm for contact
information. They trucked a Yamaha 35 from Monterey to Tacoma.

Not necessarily into the current, but predictably into the wind, which
means if you have a favorable current, it's against the wind, which can
become nasty..... agreed, truck it.

Does anyone have any experience in transporting a boat from California to
British Columbia, about 1500 miles, by flatbed? Any companies you can
recommend? Any idea of cost? Boat weight 19000# and 31 feet long. I would
appreciate suggestions and information.

Thanks
