Bon voyage, OBG!
Cruise ship bug out? Why didn't I think of that!

And then, a week or so later, under the Vincent Thomas Bridge (now the Bridge of the Americas) at the southern entrance to the Panama Canal! Been over it a bunch of times, almost under it once...

"...Cruise ship bug out..."
Only problem is, when you are poor like we are, you have to make reservations and start paying 18 or so months in advance. Makes emergency planning a little rough...

How big is this boat and how much storage space does it have on it? I’m in no way a boat person, but for longer times out at sea would it be possible to tow a small (12-foot) inflatable raft or row boat behind it full of supplies? You may be able to pick up a inflatable boat rather inexpensively and stow it away or on shore close by and being a blow up raft it would be resistant to sinking.

I'm dying to get more specific about the boat but don't want to count my chickens, etc.
A sizable dinghy is an option, but the realities at sea apparently make regular towing with a load inadvisable.

Should you not find a marina, I believe you could trailer the McGreggor if needed. With the mast down or off, a friendly RV park may let you rent space there, depending on the codes. I've seen a few set up like that.

That's why I spent a lot of time chasing MacGregors on craigslist.

Second boat inspection. Motor turned over, almost started once, but no joy. So no motoring out and no sailing.
Even more impressed with the lines and details of the boat.
Lots of work to be done.
