Frogwatch April 9th 10 12:02 AM

My next sailing fantasy
 
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............

They rent boats in Seattle. And Cruise West does the passage on 80
passenger boats. Wife's aunt and uncle have taken 2 cruises on the small
boats and liked them.

I have a hard time believing any company would rent a sail boat to someone
to sail the NW passage.

Sail it there. The Panama canal is spectacular.


For a 29 footer it would be cheaper to buy one in Seattle and sell it
when you were done.

BTW, the trip your wife is proposing is actually quite nice. We did
the same route with Princess Cruise/Tours last year and had a great
time. They offer a lot of side trip options which are very good,
albeit pricey. We did a small plane circumnavigation of the Denali
summit and surrounding peaks from Talkeetna; a helicopter ride to the
Mendenhall Glacier outside of Juneau; a jet boat excursion through the
eagle preserve on the Chilkat River; and a float plane excursion and
landing back into Misty Fjords east of Ketchikan. The cruise ship
itself visited College Fjords and Glacier Bay ending up in Vancouver
via the Inside Passage.

Do not know about sail boats, but they do rent powerboats for the inside

From what I've heard of your boat, you could buy another for the same
price as transportation. There are a few for sale locally.

You may want to budget for a survival suit, the water is a bit colder
on this side of the country and a little colder as you get further
north.

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.

Absolutely right. That's our old cruising ground and we still get
back there once in a while. The area of Maine in the vicinity of Mt
Desert Island and Acadia Nataiona Park is arguably the most scenic
part of the entire US east coast. The lobster trap and fog issues
are very real, but surmountable with a little practice and experience.

So, how do you avoid lobster traps while boating in the fog? Your radar

Slowly and with great care. Even in Maine pea soup you can usually
see 50 to 100 ft. The radar is for avoiding other boats and locating
nav aids.

Being able to see lobster pots in thick fog is actually a good thing
because the lobstermen rarely set in less than 6 or 7 ft of water.

That's really interesting, Wayne, because some years ago I was out guest
"lobstering" with a friend of a friend off of Swans Island, Maine, and
the fog was as thick as pea soup on the way back. We couldn't see far
enough ahead to locate trap floats 50 feet away, or even 25 feet away.
We got back okay, but it felt as if we were in that scene in the movie
MacArthur (with Gregory Peck) on the way to Australia on the PT Boat,
running through mine fields.

There have been days out on Chesapeake Bay where I couldn't pick out
crab pot buoys at more than 25 feet because of fog.

Sail it there. The Panama canal is spectacular.


Our company installed a communication system at the Panama Canal 10+
years ago. We sent two guys down there for about three weeks to do
the install. The main part of the system was installed in the lock
control building at one end of the canal. Part of the system was
remoted to the other end of the canal in another office, so one of the
guys had to go there every day for about a week. They would report to
work, and the one guy would get in a canal work boat, and they'd go
down the canal and across the lake to the other office in the morning,
returning by boat that evening. They also got to operate the locks
when they were there... cool stuff. Unfortunately, I didn't get to go.

Trolling usenet? My guess is that you post in more newsgroups than I do


Since no one ever wins an argument with a woman or the mentally ill, I
will allow youto maintain that fantasy.


Men would be a lot smarter and happier if they stopped trying to win an
argument with a woman. It might be tactical, but it isn't strategic.

Only because the woman is too stupid to realize that she's lost the
argument.

The next post will prove my point.

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


Absolutely right. That's our old cruising ground and we still get
back there once in a while. The area of Maine in the vicinity of Mt
Desert Island and Acadia Nataiona Park is arguably the most scenic
part of the entire US east coast. The lobster trap and fog issues
are very real, but surmountable with a little practice and experience.


Next time you're in that neck of the woods and you need a deckhand that
doesn't
chase whiskey and women, let me know.


Hee hee...we could make a reality show from you two 'cruzin' the
NorthEast
area.




You use the word "we" too much, Don. Do you have an imaginary fan club?


Fan this club....... WeeBoy!



That's really your response? OK then.

I guess you don't get laid that often, unless you pay cash of course.

quality lotion once in a while.
