Subject: Re: [world-cruising] Assistance request ? Seattle WA / Vancouver BC
From: S.A. Renyi (arenyi@XXX.XXX)
Date: Wed Mar 26 2003 - 13:47:01 EST
Hi Chris,
How do you send a 36 footer by ship? In container, or as deck cargo?
I want to check the option not to sail the Red Sea towards the
Mediterranean, but send my 36 feet Cheoy Lee by ship (I am not sure that it
is healhy today to sail between Arab countries with US flag).
Any information may help.
Thanks
Andy

>Hello friends. This assistance request is very much of a long shot, but I

>surprised if I don't get any responses, but what the heck, let's try:
>
>As many of you know we live aboard a Columbia 36. The boat is currently
>on board a ship and headed from Ensenada BC Mexico to Vancouver BC Canada.
> We, on the other hand, are in a rental car driving up the American west
>coast in rough parallel to the ship.
>
>(By the way, "we" refers to three of us: Myself, wife Debbie, and
>daughter (15) Heather. We have been underway for three years, all of it
>here on the West Coast.)
>
>We had to remove certain items from the boat which would have otherwise
>created hassles at the various borders:
>
>Fishing gear ? because of Mexican laws.
>Wine ? because of Canadian laws
>Cats ? because of American laws.
>
>Our arrangement at the north end looks like this:
>
>Saturday, 29 March put the cats in boarding. Find a way to Vancouver BC.
>Find a place to stay in Vancouver.
>
>Sunday 30 March, meet the ship at Ballantyne pier in Vancouver and
>retrieve our home. Spend the night aboard in Coal Harbour.
>
>Monday 31 March sail from Coal Harbour to Blaine, WA (or equal)
>
>Tuesday 1 April arrange to retrieve our cats and goods from wherever they
>are.
>
>So here is the list of areas where your input or comments would be
>appreciated:
>
>Recommendations of best most of travel, or offers of a ride, from Seattle
>area to downtown Vancouver, no later than Saturday.
>
>Recommendations of cat boarding in Washington, preferably somewhere
>between Seattle and Blaine to facilitate the pick-up next week.
>
>Recommendations of lodging (or offers of a place to stay) in Vancouver for
>night of 29 March. (A consideration here will be ease of access to
>Ballantyne Pier area on Sunday.)
>
>I very much thank you for any assistance you care to offer.
>I can be reached by direct e-mail at cmckesson @XXX.XXX or by phone at
