If a person takes the time to read Tony Bigras' blog, it will quickly become clear through his entertaining writing-style that he had a detailed plan, summarized as:
- Design and build an easily transportable cat where he lived in western Canada, buy an old clunker capable of getting him and his creation,
Miss Cindy, from Canada, through the states of
Washington,
Oregon and
California, into Mexico and to the
Sea of Cortez.
- Launch his cat, move aboard, get rid of the transport vehicle (sold it to a fellow Canadian retiree for $1) and set out down the
Baja side of the
Sea of Cortez, then cross to the mainland.
- Sail down the Pacific coasts of Mexico,
Guatemala, El Salvador and
Nicaragua bound for
San Juan del Sur,
Nicaragua.
- Transport
Miss Cindy up to Lake Nicaragua, sail the lake a bit, then down the Rio
San Juan into the
Caribbean.
- Sail
offshore to the
Cayman Islands, sail the islands then
head north to
Cuba, sail the Cuban coast to the western end of
Cuba, then sail across the
Gulf Stream to
Key West,
Florida.
A very ambitious plan in a very
small boat . . . but . . . he did it! He worked his plan, accomplished his goals, completed his voyage. If anyone would like to know what it was like to go to sea in such a small craft, read Tony Bigras' blog.
But if you would rather experience such a voyage for yourself, and do so without having to build the vessel from plans - you can do it.
Miss Cindy is
for sale.
