Hi Susie,
I was just browsing and came across your post. Sounds like you have a great plan and the
kids should love it. We are transplanted New Yorkers who bought our present
boat up in Pender Harbour, BC and sailed it just across the border and are "marina'd up" fixing the
boat. Our plans are Pender Harbour and
Alaska this summer.
Good luck and welcome to CF,
don't forget to post pictures as you progress
