2020 will be an exciting year for us. Cruising the east US coast. Culminating with the plan to have Joy shipped via the Panama Canal from Florida to Canada. We have begun contacting shippers and have a good idea of cost and time enroute. Questions now are where will we end up on the other end. It appears that the shippers can drop our boat in Victoria or Vancouver. My guess is Vancouver would be best due to airport access and the wide number of marinas to choose from. Joy is a Fleming 55, 16' beam and a 5' draft. Joy will be in Canada and Alaska to two the three years and then we plan to either ship her back or pilot her back ourselves We have even discussed having a hired captain bring her down to San Diego where we would then solo the rest of the way. We are very experienced here on the east coast cruising from Key West to Halifax regulary.
