We'll truck her down.

I'll have about 10% of her value invested then - not much by rich man
standards maybe.

And I'm getting a lot more boat for the money than I expected to buy.

That doesn't make her disposable...

Good attitude, good decision. It's a long hard trip by water.




It's not that hard going south, especially if you choose your weather window
carefully. Certainly going as far as SD isn't difficult.




That's about 1/5 of the way, right?

True, but you only get potentially bad winds in southern Mexico. If I had
the time, I'd take her down to Cabo then putz around La Paz and north before
heading across to Mazalan... then head south. Lots and lots of people do
this.
