And assuming that you don't really want to leave your precious boat in Annapolis, you'll pay (2x$297)=$594.00 round trip to ensure that you're re-acquainted with your boat back in Oregon. That seems like a lot to me, since I only put $425 into building my CLC boat! It makes more sense to try to get together on the west coast.
