GIECO dropped us this year and this required us to seek a new insurance company. All the quotes I received from our broker, Peter, has navigation restrictions, no boating above the 51 longitude line from October to May 15th.
I have never came across this in all my years of cruising the PNW. Why? Is this a new thing in the PNW. Don't know. I even had one company that would require ASD to be on the hard from October 1st until May 1st. Really? Needles to say, they did not get my money.
My required navigation is pretty easy to understand. Coast of Oregon, Washington, to include the Columbia River, B.C. Canada and All of SE Alaska to Cape Spencer to Skagway.
Next year I will be more vigilant when dealing with these companies and their requirements.
Any similar TF folks who run the PNW run into this issue?
