I would talk this over with Glenn at ATL no matter what. If she could
wait Glenn could work a back haul at reduced price. They just moved a
friends boat from Sodus to Buffalo as the truck was coming back from the
west. If it is a C&C they have already moved it once. They have ICC
permits for USA.

We had good success with Andrews moving a 27 to the states when we
moved there, and a 33 back to Canada. Both ways we got a back haul
rate, when they have a truck moving empty to fetch a boat or return
from a delivery. The return to Canada also was 2 up as they had a
slightly smaller boat to bring back and both could fit on the trailer.
Talk to Glenn at Andrews, he may be able to help ……

She is an accomplished sailor and she lives on the boat now, has for a
long time, as I said in my last sentence. Living on a boat at a marina
is not as demanding as single-handed sailing. She sailed the boat from
Seattle to the east coast but that was some time ago.

She could save a ton of money sailing north instead of west.
If she really has to be in California, where slips are big $$$ and
hard to find with live-aboard slips being even harder, the money
might work out better to sell the boat and buy one already there.
I really really hate to say this, but if she can’t day-sail her
way to Texas, how long is she going to be able to be on the boat
at all?

It is the owner that is fragile, not the boat. She is in her
mid-70s, with bad bones in her back, and with stainless steel rods
holding things together. The boat is well looked after and just
had a haul out and a minor refit. She has been in Florida too
long, is fed up with it, and would much rather sail it back
through Panama herself but reluctantly admits she is no longer up
to the task. I have suggested it might be cheaper for her to work
her way around to Texas and truck it from there but again she
would need a sailing companion even for that. Money is not
unlimited and she is exploring her options. - A long-time
liveaboard sailor.

If the boat is too fragile to just sail to San Diego, is the
boat worth shipping across the country?
I could probably find a fragile old 35 foot boat for $25K in
California.
Also note the Canadian shipper **might** be able to ship the
boat to Canada and then ship her to San Diego, but you might
have to pay customs both ways ☹
