[And, of course, we'll also repair all the stuff on deck or above which
has been either damaged or entirely lost. All this will take a month
or two, after which we'll head out again.]

Yo ,, Skip..... in two months it will be the beginning of hurricane
season in Florida. Well, at the least the beginning of the beginning.

How about getting your boat fixed, having it trucked to Maine, and
starting out from there. I can steer you in the direction of a few yards
that will do you right, and you can get out of Florida so that the Karma
will be better when you set forth for your second trip to paradise.

Probably cost a couple of grand to get her up to Maine. But .. at least
we don't have reefs, just big rocks. When you ground up here, there is
no calling the adjustor ........ unless his name is Charley and he is a
Tuna.


A couple of grand from the Keys to Maine with a 50 foot load? I would put
the pricetag at four times that, at least.


Wrong tiger tongue... I priced it out. If you are willing to play the game
a little .. that is: when the truck goes south it does not want to come
back empty .. you can save thousands. The trick is the drop off. Ya gotta
plan that part out.

You are off on the price.

I know, I spoke to the trucker just recently.
