Hi All,
We are looking a bit ahead and hoping to travel the Great Loop in two years. We have a 34 CHB and think that it would be the perfect size for the loop. Our dilemma is how to get it there. Time is not really a factor as we will (all going according to plan) will be retired by then.
We have priced having it trucked across Canada and across the US (roughly the same price $8,000 cnd) The other option we were looking at is having the boat trucked to San Diego (from Vancouver BC) and then sailing from there though the Panama Canal and then over to Florida to start the loop.
The biggest concern is that I am not sure if this boat is sufficient to do the trip from San Diego to Panama. We have read enough to think we do not want to cruise down the coast from Vancouver to San Diego, but are not sure about the rest of the trip.
Any input on any of the above would be greatly appreciated
