Sept - 2011 through Feb 2012
My brother and I did a lot of investigating. There are several places from Hammond, IN to Racine, WI where we could keep the boat. We visited them all and decided on Waukegan, IL. The Waukegan Harbor Marina is nice, the travel time from home to the Marina is exactly an hour, the slip price is good and the Larsen Marine boat yard is right next door.

We still needed to find a way to haul the boat from Maryland
to Waukegan and I placed an ad on UShip.com initially in October 2011. Didn’t get any bids. I relisted in early February 2012 and
received 2 bids and accepted one of them from Sea Wise Inc. The husband and wife team, Ed and Jan, at Sea
Wise made the entire process of getting the boat from Maryland to Waukegan a
painless experience. Jan communicated
constantly on the current status of the process and when Ed and the boat were
in transit, she kept me up to date on their location over the 2 days it took to
get to Waukegan. I asked her to let me
know when they were about an hour from arriving at the Larsen Marine boat yard. She did and I was able to be there when Ed
and the boat arrived.
