Works on Trust
We did that last year and took a boat out of San Diego for a week with the other party to come to the Pacific Northwest this spring. The insurance must be handled as you loaning your boat to a friend - no cash or it becomes void. There is risk but there is reward. We had never met the people before and we got to know them through E-mail and a few phone calls.They invited us to thier house, we had diner and they took us to the boat and went over everything the next morning. We will do the same on thier return and hopefully all will work out. Hopefully we will not only have a successful exchange but also make some friends.
