Ship it with Dockwise, from Vancouver.

Truck it across the Rockies to the Great Lakes and sail it from there.

Truck it to Annapolis or somesuch and sail it from there.

Sorry I couldn't resist, personally I'd take my time and enjoy a years cruise..down the West coast and then NZ, North of Oz...a few island stops then Suez to Med.

Forget setting a course for Gib...... awful place anyway..... full of alcoholic ex-pats /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Sail North from Seattle to British Columbia, Canada......... and stay there!
AWESOME sailing area, as the Yanks say..... and they're right for once. Sort of west coast of Scotland on steroids.
And if you get bored you can always pop up to Alaska..... even more dramatic.

I wd suggest departure seattle on nw winds inshore to arrive panama before end may, departure from caribee before end june, arrival via azoress at gibraltar before mid august. But get a jimmy cornell book and expect a storm or two..
