Boat Haulin

Yesterday driving home from work I spied a semi hauling a sailboat. At first glance, I thought it was marina friends Tim and Deb who are starting their cruising dream, but this boat was headed west and they are going to the east coast. The boat being towed was the same color and similar shape, but I quickly realized it was too small to be theirs anyway.

I have probably seen lots of sailboats being towed in my almost fifty years on the planet but its only after becoming a sailor that I paid any attention to them. So much so, that I snapped a picture of this one as I passed her by.

I wanted to capture the name of the company for future references, but after reviewing the photo at home, I realized that the sailboat was in the mirror of my truck, and I thought that was kind of cool.

I don't know anything about the company "U.S. boat haulers" but if anyone is looking for a company to move a boat, they might be a good place to start; looked professional to me.

Seeing this boat on its way to who knows where, made me just a little envious, but I know that will be me sometime in the hopefully not too distant future.
