Alaska Inside Passage. *Last year, wife asked me if I was interested
in cruising the Inside Passage and of course I said "sure", she shook
her head sadly and said, "I mean on a ship".
Eeeeeeew, a cruise ship, how would that be fun?
So, she is planning her trip of a lifetime with my two daughters,
flying to Fairbanks (been there myself) and taking a train down to
Anchorage and then by boat through the inside passage and then to
Seattle and then flying back here. *YES, Expensive, but I cannot
complain because i have done some bizarro travelling which although
they did not cost much money, did cause her to worry.
So............how to cheaply get my 8000 lb boat to Seattle............

Froggy, if you've never sailed around the northeast USA, Connecticut
up to Maine, then that's where I would suggest you go. The area is
absolutely beautiful, much different from Florida. I'd give Shortwave
Tom a call and trailer the boat up there. He can show you good places
to launch, and probably give you some good tips on where to leave the
towing vehicle and trailer.

When I'm touring in that area, I'm constantly wishing I'd brought my
boat. It's beautiful.
