Plan B

[Living the dream]

Well, I'm way past Plan B and working down the alphabet....
The original plan was to ship my boat on the Alaska State Ferry in April but it was cancelled because of the virus so the State put me in for the May sailing which turned into the end of June sailing and finally scheduled for July. Well that's not going to work for me so I planned to drive it from Seattle to Alaska. In order to do that I had to install electric over hydraulic disc brakes and new tires. In the mean time Canada closed down their borders to all essential travel heading South and North.
So what's a guy to do! I already had the brake job scheduled -with the boat off the trailer I might as well do new bunks, and what the heck...new bottom paint and touch up the gel coat. With the border closure extended until the end of June, I finally tapped out and shipped commercially with TOTE.
The good news is the boat is now sitting at the dock in Anchorage and I will be picking it up tomorrow AM.
Now the fun begins, all is good!

Awesome and congratulations. Hopefully I’ll see you out in the sound in the next few weeks.

Congratulations :!: I do believe that is called "Making the best of a bad situation". But now you will be able to boat instead of doing all that stuff starting tomorrow.

Welcome to the new normal . . . . . and Oh, by the way, Enjoy the C-BRATS.com site. It is a great place with super good people. Enjoy and stick around.

Welcome. You should have the e/h brakes anyway. This way you will get good use of the Tom Cat this summer.

Picked up the boat yesterday, worked on her until 10 p.m. last night Lol! Fishcatcher- plan on it, hopefully in a week or two. I'm doing general maintenance on the engines along with replacing all fuel lines, batteries and giving her a thorough safety check from top to bottom. Bob- you're so right, it was a completely different trailer with EOH brakes.
Now, back to work.
