right but, it's, like, legal, to just sail up the river, no?
a) can you sail?
b) do you ever practice sailing?

i am an amateur sailor, i know very little about sailing.. i remember when i had another sailboat back in the early 90's... i just took off out into the bay from kemah texas at about 10pm at night.. i had not a single clue about what i was doing.. i had no idea where i was going.. nope.. so there i was out in the bay headed for the shipping lanes where i have seen large ships passing by before.. i kept hearing a faint noise.. ahooogahh.. ahooogah... oh shit, i thought, there is a freighter coming straight at me... i cut over to the left and there was a very tall wall of steel cutting thru the water.. it was only about 25 feet away from me. that ship almost smashed into me..
if i go sailing from now on, it will not be solo and it will be in the daytime.

funny, my sailling experience is almost a cut copy of yours but I am willing to be your plus one nonetheless.

the messed up thing is that i now have three lifeline agm batteries on my old boat that need to be moved over to the new boat.
two of them weight 125 pounds each, and the other weighs 150 pounds.
i do not want to move these batteries.
these are approx $900 batteries each, so i aint leaving them behind.
