Moving the boat...

"cavalamb himself" wrote in message ... I've never done this before, so I feel pretty clewless (clueless for lubbers). Has anybody had to move a fairly big boat overland? I need to move a Hunter 38 - in Washington state, down to Houston (texas). I've googled up some boat movers - but - what to look for? what to watch out for? What extra expenses to plan on? Is there a better way? There isn't really... the west coast, as others have said, or maybe it was you, can be a bummer in the wrong conditions. On the other hand, you'll be headed south, and if you pick your weather window properly, getting her to SF or SD shouldn't be a big deal. The rest of the trip is long also of course, and there are weather issues beyond Mexico, but the weather (with a good window) would be fine. I took a slightly large boat from SF to Cabo following the Baha-Haha a number of years ago (they leave late-Oct/early-Nov), and we didn't even get a light rain until the last night. The weather was perfect and we made a steady 5kts VMG day in and day out. Of course, if you're at all in a rush, then overland is better time and logistically speaking. If you decide to sail her, let me know. I'd possibly be interested in hitching a ride. Hey! Now that might lean the equasion in favor of sailing. |
