- Beneteau Swift Trawler 44
Hi everyone, I am heading up to Point Roberts with my 16-year old son and my boat broker to bring our new (to us) 44 Swift Trawler down to Seattle, where it will then be trucked down to the Bay Area (thanks for the advice many of you gave me to not bring it down the coast now).
It's gonna be C-O-L-D, as in around 30 degrees. I am packing lots of layers, rain pants and jacket, and a sleeping bag. The boat is pretty bare right now, so no supplies.
We'll probably make half the trip on Sat., then sleep on the boat at an anchorage, then finish up on Sunday. The boat has heat, but I believe it is reliant on the generator when not on shore power. We'll obviously run the generator for the heat, but I assume so it doesn't run all night, we'll have the heat pretty low.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should bring with me, or buy there? Or any other general recommendations on making this trip in such cold weather (other than a bottle of whiskey).
Thanks!
Mike
