Moving a boat via roadways is something we’ve done before. Our sailboat, Ready or Knot, moved from Beaufort, SC to Chicago. Taken apart and put together again with nary a glitch (or at least any that are memorable.) Our experience with the Knoxville to Charleston journey is not quite so good.
I described the new spot as Gdansk.
And that was being charitable.
Every scoop from the crane into the barge set off 2 foot waves at the dock.
The less-than-desirable location wasn’t the problem. The problem was that things that were working perfectly in Knoxville weren’t working at all in Charleston. The switch that allows you to drive from either the top deck or inside….not working. The davit for the dinghy was bent and the dinghy no where to be found. (Driver dropped it off and will return it this week….we hope.) DirectTV system not working and satellite search system won’t turn off. Ugh and ugh.
Cliff’s cheery email: “This has not been a perfect adventure, but with any luck will turn out to have only a few shortcomings that we will be able to recover from.” Sure hope so!
