Trip Checklist
Posted: August 12th, 2018, 2:52 pm
A search of the forum did not produce a checklist for a trip.
So I have decided to enjoy the boat in the Gulf of Mexico for a couple months or so, but keep my home base slip. I am going to drive the boat from Northern Galveston Texas to Orange Beach Alabama/Perdido Key Florida this Weds through Saturday.
So I am charting it tomorrow, but I would estimate 400-500 miles as it is 503 miles by car. Probably closer to 400 by ICW.
Since we dont have one on the forum, can anyone share their trip checklist with us or take a picture of their written out checklist to upload and share.
We have numerous people wanting to do the great loop and more, just maybe your list will save someone a major headache or item that is needed on a long trip.
Maybe this can be a running checklist we all can check from time to time. This forum is worth its weight in Gold.
Thanks everyone and happy boating.
P.S. Being the inexperienced captain I am, my first item on my checklist is a retired Master Captain who runs a boat safety school where he teaches students how to be a captain. I am very honored to make this trip with someone who will teach me how to make a trip safely.
