Well, the San Juans aren't too shabby either! Can you even come down to the delta for a week or two without forfeiting the sales tax exemption? I won't mention the fuel to do that. Anyone who can afford that boat doesn't need to worry about the cost of fuel!!!!
I planned a trip north for a departure June 1, 2004. I even spent $5000 for a life raft.
Not just any life raft, I got the best. And no one in Fair Oaks, Ca has a nicer one in their garage!!!
I have a notebook where I went to every port between here and the San Juans. I found photos of each harbor, its approach and the closest buoy to it.
The wife and I took the Advanced Coastal Navigation course and one other from the...I hate this...my morphine just trumped my memory...anyway, we had all the current charts in our
new Raymarine GPS/Radar Overlay/etc. set up. I got software for my notebook and used a Garmin GPS Map unit with it. We were excited about it...life was good...............
THEN...the daughter who would never be married, called and said she was getting married May 28th, in Las Vegas. Ouch. Fuel money went for the wedding. But my medical early warning system was already telling me I had health problems coming on. By the next year I
was not doing as well and even considered buying a defib unit for the trip, but wiser minds intervened and the wife trumped my yes vote. Yeah, any married man who thinks he runs things at his house is delusional. We waited for things to get better. As of July
2, 2007...things may be better.
After flying in the Air Force all those years, I "mission plan" until I have all the answers. I taught radar navigation and celestial navigation for years. My group was the last in the world to fly around the world on celestial MPPs. Most Probable Position.
We were allowed 50nm either side of center line when we penetrated the ADIZ of the USA.
With WAAS GPS you shouldn't be 50 feet off. I also learned I will take luck over skill any day.
They took a 34 foot Tollycraft around Vancouver Island, so the 34 ft size should be fine.
Bob Austin and I were working a deal where Bob would buy my boat and take it to Alaska this year. We would fly into Ketchikan, Alaska to "buy it back" and bring it down to the San Juans.
Bob and I had heart surgery the same week. He is in the Cleveland Clinic, I am in Denver at the National Jewish Hospital. It really is true that your chances are better if you are in a major trauma center.
If you are interested in my notes, when I get home in a few weeks, contact me and I will mail them to you. Meanwhile, watch 46013. Go to google and type it in.
Best wishes if you go. I was headed in to lay down when my wife told me to "look at this posting". We still want to do it, but at $3 a gallong for diesel, that really hurts. We are retired and on a fixed income.
