Commute to Your Boat, How Far?

[Lancerbye]

Commute ? What is that about? Takes me 15 min. to be on my way.

[David_Old_Jersey]

depends on traffic. could be 20 mins

[w1651]

Same as David old Jersey 20 minutes depending on traffic.

[Freerider]

I used to wake up on it, then commute 30mins to work, now its in my front yard which sucks, but it needs the work.

Then it'll be either 3 mins or 2.5hrs depending on where I decide to put it.

The 2.5hr marina will be much nicer sailing.

[Juniper]

Currently about 12 hours, in the process of moving her up the coast, with luck this summer it will be a 5 minute swim,dingy ride from work and 15 minute drive from home.

[perchance]

Twenty minutes including the coffee stop. The other boat on the left coast 3000k miles away about a six hour plane ride.

[Khagan1227]

25 minutes, but it is a nice drive in the country.

[Reward]

Hour and a half! But it's worth it. I have downtown Boston right off my bow!

[Alecadi]

Same here at this time: 20mn one way depending on traffic. When in marathon will live aboard or have our little condo on the shore out of Boot Key Harbor (dinghy ride)

[Unicorn Dreams]

2 1/4 to 2 1/2 hrs each way, 150 miles each way

[Dockhead]

I'm pretty sure I win the (booby) prize on this point - about 1700 miles and three time zones. But since the boat lives an hour and a half from a place I spend a week a month on business in anyway, it's not too bad. I managed 52 sea days last year while pretending to hold down a full time job. And probably as many days again in port or at anchor. So I manage to spend a good 25% of my life on board despite the distance.

[MJWEENZ]

2.5 hours, sigh. In a year or so hopeing it will be out my back door!

[Ironhorse74]

275 Miles 5 hours in the dead of night 12 hours at rush hour in Seattle. To be changed this summer.

So it is safe to say that a bunch of you have a commute to your boat but that doesn't diminsh your desire to sail.

[Boomp]

Obviously, the 'commute' is pretty irrelevant...takes me half an hour, but I really enjoy the trip....like a kid going to the candy store.
But the folks that have to 'fly' to China to use a boat thats in the charter business or moored w a vacation home...aren't realy being honest...errrr lets change that to 'being accurate'.. they don't hop in the car to go to the boat...but, the folks who do drive hundreds of miles...Happy sail season!
