West Coast Yacht Shopping

2/5/2014

1 Comment

 
Since I got off of the Grand Canyon, I've been scouring the west coast for as many small, sturdy cruising boats as I can find.  I was met mostly with disappointment in Southern California, but I was rewarded with the chance to catch up with some old friends and do some fooling around in the chilly Pacific Ocean.  There were a few larger boats that would've been beautiful cruising boats, but sadly they're out of my price range.

I made my way up to the Bay Area and was met with more disappointing yachts and more good friends.  I also got a chance to spend some time exploring, hiking around, and fishing on the California Coast.

Living out of my truck (with all my belongings packed in) has been glorious.  Its ultimately flexible - I can pull over whenever I want and be in bed in a matter of seconds.  Its also really liberating to have all of stuff right at my fingertips.  Heck, if I wanted, I could drive straight to Chile right now.

I just made it up to Seattle and there are a number of promising boats in Seattle, Bellingham, and Vancouver.  I'm going to take a look at them over the course of the next few days and I'll keep you all updated with what I find!
