Neither, Stig :). Moorage on the Columbia River would give me relatively close access westward to the Pacific Ocean and onward north to Puget Sound, the San Juan Islands, BC and Alaska, or south to Mexico and Central America; or east on the Columbia and Snake River systems, or south on the...

Absolutely. I may even bite off building my own...been looking for quite a few years at a drop dead simple pilothouse power dory design that carries an aux. sail system. 45 feet on deck, 10 foot beam, draws 3.5 feet, power requirement is really low at 10 to 15 hp inboard diesel. Or maybe buy...
