You can build a cradle --or perhaps better, outfit a trailer, which will lock onto the top of containers. Send the boat deck cargo. But--no assurance of arrival. A friend had a brand new Tayana 57 shipped from Taiwan to Hong Kong--basically an overnight run. All that was left on the deck of the ship were a few pieces of fiberglass. According to the captain the chains came loose in a storm and the boat slipped overboard after it bashed around the deck for a few hours. The liability of the Carrier was 150 lbs Sterling. Nowever, my friend tied up one of the Mersk container ships in Honolulu with a court order, and Mersk paid the full amount of the claim. Yes, the boat had been insured, but not for its full value--after all what could happen in just a few hundred miles?

An RF 246 was shipped to Europe for a two year tour. They put it on a float on ship service that moves yachts back and forth from the east coast to Europe.

We used one of those float on services to ship Our Journey from Tahiti to Vancouver. It is the way to go, but it wasn't cheap. Inside a container was cheap, but 36' by 13' doesn't fit there. building a cradle was as expensive as shippling it home via DockWise.
Boat got to Vancouver in good shape. The float on service has NO liability from the time you pass the dry dock entrance till you get off. However, they also sell insurance (surprise.) Thank God we didn't need it.
9 mos to Tahiti, two weeks to Vancouver. We flew home in 8 hrs.
Here's the transport, really a drydock:
Our Journey is the little boat in the back, and it was a 36' sailboat:

Hi Journey On,
Below is a site that I checked out to see how much to get Hunky Dory to Europe. Their estimate was $3200 (based on square footage of boat on trailer) one way to Europe. Based on their write up, I think you could trailer your boat on to their Roll-On/Roll-Off ships. That was from Baltimore with expected delivery in Europe about 3 weeks from Baltimore.

We have also checked on costs to ship a 22' CD to Europe and concluded it would be better to buy or charter a local boat over there due to the costs. So we cruised the Cheshire Ring aboard a chartered canal boat.
If anyone is interested in sharing costs (three couples can comfortably cruise on many of the canal boats) for a canal cruise in Europe let's chat about it - fall is a delightful time on the canals.

As for the local (North America) bucket list, we are looking at the following for this summer/fall:
Lake Powell - always on the list
Tetons (again - so beautiful)
Yellowstone (also again - marvelous cruise)
Glacier National Park (again) - there are two more glaciers gone due to global warming since our last visit, and the remaining twenty-five may be lost by the end of this decade. San Francisco Examiner:
http://www.sfexaminer.com/nation/2-more ... z0kzDY5gHy
Ft. Peck Reservoir, MT (last time down the lake was in a double kayak)
Lake of the Woods, Manitoba
Voyageur Nat'l Park - Rainy Lake (good enough to repeat again)
Then to the east - maybe parts of Lakes Superior, Huron, Champlain. Perhaps as far east as the Bras d'Or Lakes in Nova Scotia.

Great list Tom! Hope you plan to live at least 100 years to get all that stuff done! :lol:

Tom, you should have been a Paratrooper instead of a Jarhead, they paid us extra money each month to jump out of airplanes......although, I'm not certain that a C-119 qualifies as a "perfectly good" airplane... :roll:.....but the C-119 was certainly an added incentive to want to jump out of it! :shock:

If I had the money i could get most of it done this year. jumping is a weekend, 200 on a bike is just having the money to buy it. I have been up to 160mph on a friends bike. All the fishing is just guided trip that cost 10k each. The boat trips will take the longest, well that and overthrowing castro and installing a freer govement. Just time and money.

paratrooper training.
Here put this on, walk Thur that door, see you at the bottom....
Now you know why they have the chutes on static lines, cant trust a trooper to pay attention long enough to pull his own cord. :wink:

Enjoying waking up on the top of the dirt each morning.
Enjoying opening my eyes and being able to see, even, if to see clearly, I have ramble around until I find my glasses.
Enjoying being able to hear the birds at dawn...even, if not as well as last year.
Enjoying getting up on my own two legs, even if one does fall asleep and tingle some time..
Enjoying getting that first cup of warm coffee in the mornings...even if that right hand drops the cup now and then...and so what,...I use stainless steal insulated now rather than my favorite painted up mugs from where I have been.
Being able to dial up a friend and just chat cause we have not talked in a bit...and, I did not have to remember their number...it was in the phone just waiting for me.
Being able to choose from so many, many differnet boating options and waters in our Country.
Being able to watch a great documentary on what price has truly been paid to have our freedoms, and know I worked with and beside some of them who have paid the ultamate price.
And then... I get to the bucket list... and, be glad I am over blessed, living a better life than I deserve...and ponder at the greener grasses just on the other side of some fence...
This has been a good link. Thanks for those who have participated, and, hopefully, our paths will cross again soon.

Dave,
He had his chance. Now it will probably remain in the bucket. Can remember there being several of those Marine recon Jarheads and SEAL's attending the Airborne school when I was there. Had to love em with all the crap they took while overlooking me with with all that Eye Eye stuff. There wasn't much improvement over the C-119 with the C-141 at night with the red lights for night vision and the eiry scream of the wind through the jumping door wind screens. Jump to far and get wind blasted, not far enough and count rivets. For the most part nothing but good memories of the C-130 and helicopter jumps.

depends on who and how many are chasing you :shock:
It would not be any kind of a record but it would be the fastest i have been. Not to many street bikes that would do 200. and I am not talking for 9 seconds. flat out down a desert highway for half a hour or more. there are a few places in the west with the room. been 130 in a car across the desert loved it.

OK, now we've got it, Tom... you want to go 200 miles per hour on a motorcycle. I've had a few of my motorcycles up to 120 - more than fast enough for me. Sounds to me like you have some pent up adrenaline looking to get out, Tom. Good luck with that list!
Best wishes,
