I'll stop in Humbolt bay for a while and visit my daughter. I am in no hurry i am retired from most 9-5's. I've talked to a guy that has taken his GB 32 all the way to mexico and back from the bellingham Washington area
anyway i think going the hard route is cheaper but less of an adventure.
....and that likeness of being back to sea is my problem.Growing up around boats was fun as a kid but the family men all were mariners and guess what I did?
I am teaching/learning to enjoy owning/using my boat but it has been hard to shake off the old me and just have a good time.The term "Prudent Mariner" is still part of my lexicon I guess.
