thief Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 btw: here is West's request: http://www.westcoastpaddler.com/community/...opic.php?t=2847 from West Coast Paddler So I wrote earlier wondering about someplace to work this summer...now having gotten the job I was looking for, I'm confronted with a new issue: I'm in Arizona for school, the job is in Washington, and my boat is in Massachusetts. I realize that this forum is based on the wrong side of the country, but if anyone is going to be driving from the Boston area west, even just past the midwest, and has room on their roof for a long boat, driver(s) would be much appreciated and compensated for gas and/or beer. If I can't find anyone driving out that can take a boat, does anyone have experience shipping a sea kayak cross-country...? I know it's relatively easy with a WW boat, but they're small, lighter, and virtually indestructible...not so much for an 18 foot glass boat. Any thoughts? _________________ Cheers, West "Nothing screams 'poor workmanship' like wrinkles in the duct tape." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob budd Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I don't know when Alex (tacomakayaker) is going home, he should see this soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pintail Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Didn't Ms. Bennett (Mary) write recently that she was going to be driving to Alaska soon (April, perhaps)? I just found her post, written 2nd March, saying "leaving in 29 days' time" -- you may be too late! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken C Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Rob, Contact some of the dealers that sell Racing Shells (Sculls) this time of year those guys are all over the place. Evergreen Rowing in the Pacwest is a large dealer and may be able to help as the makers on the west coast are transporting stuff out this way now and will be glad to have something to take back.
