Thank you for that post Jack. Maybe if that guy hears enough posts
like yours it will sink in to his head that life above N 45 line is
not the same as California Del Fun. Once he gets the boat up here Im
sure it will be a lot of fun running over the bar on a nice day. Its
kinda cool in the bottom of a trough looking up and seeing the crest
above your mast.............

First, don't insult my intelligence. As I've posted several times, I
WILL be trucking any boat I find in CA - I wanted some opinions on the
trek and I have received them and made a decision.

As for "life above N45" - I've never sailed in CA but I'm at N49 and
have sailed to N52 or so. I've been on WCVI. I know people who do
fishing charters off Uclulet in 26ft powerboats. I'm not an idoit.

And I'll take your 12-second, mast-high crests against the 5-sec 12-
footers you get when the 9-knot flood out Porlier hits the NW swells:
The first one picks your boat up (it's unnerving to see the KEEL of
the boat next to you...), then your boat drops into the trough - just
in time for the next wave to break over the buried bow. And of course
the resulting 12-foot freefall has dislodged everything not REALLY
nailed down, including your teeth.

Been there in a 22-ft McGreggor before I knew better.

Prudent.............and alive Bob

You must be scared sh*tless driving down a 2-lane highway (in your
Hummer, I presume). You must have seen what happens when two vehicles
collide at closing speeds over 100mph?

druid - prudent, but not prude.

I appologize. I did not know you were so capable. Good luck and have
fun with your new boat.

Dear druid:
I appologize. I did not realize you were so capable and sailed such
trecherous waters. Good luck with your new boat.
