I have lined up an escort boat that can do some towing / pushing to get the sailboat out of / into marinas if the motor or sails fail.
I will have boat insurance and tow assist insurance in place.
I will have both a couple of guest docks spots along the route and at least a temporary marina home for the boat close to where I hope to "permanently" berth it.
I am going to bring a charged 12-volt battery,long leads and hoses, and a bilge pump set up in case the bilge pump on the boat fails or is inadequate (the boat has been in the water at berth for a couple years supposedly without taking on any significant water).
The VHF radio on board supposedly works. We will be in cell phone territory the whole way.
I will pick a time when the tide and wind are both pushing inland.
I already have maps and charts of the route - most of which which I actually know pretty well already.
What else am I forgetting that can make bringing home the boat a little safer?
Thanks.
Edit: Better check the Coast Guard equipment. I will bring a couple extra fire extinguishers.
