Jeff and michelle,, it is simply the re-installation of all the stuff that had to be taken off prior to overland shipping to wash ---all the second deck hand rails, radar mast, nav lites, etc. Will you be in the san juans in sept?? Stevenadtina

I'd love to hear the details. I will be shipping my tug from La Conner to Cleveland. I also have the fly bridge to deal with. Was it expensive?

Instead of through PM it would benefit all of us if you started a thread on the subject of overland transport of your boats.

I was lucky enough to see your boat being hauled out in preparation for transport.
