jackanne Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Never mind what car they have,what type of boat have they got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCOnoob Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 In theory yes - give or take a few boats. The easiest part would be down to dover, channel tunnell drive across europe into Russia and get to somewhere like Uelen or Lorino on the furthest coastal point. The tricky part would be getting your vehicle shipped over between the two points of Russia and Canada. I doubt very much there is any service or certainly not of easily accessed or regular variety. Overcome that that hurdle and its pretty easy again. Through Alaska or Canada, nip down through the USA and blag yourself on a boat from Miami or Key West to Barbados. You looking at about 15,000 miles and probably would leave yourself about a month or so to spare..... Providing you are prepared to be driving a solid 14 hours a day of course. :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonj Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 You could do it in around 8-10 days. Drive your car to somewhere like Southampton then assuming you also have a large boat in your chosen UK port, set a south-westerly course and drive as fast as you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blake Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 The tricky part would be getting your vehicle shipped over between the two points of Russia and Canada. as even Sarah Pailin is aware, the closest point between Siberia (Asia) and the American continent is not Canada, but Alaska in the USA. There isn't a ferry across the Bering Strait of course, but if there was, it would only take about three hours. If somebody had a boat and they wanted to bypass Alaska and US territory and land it in Canada, it would take much longer than that. Maybe 12 hours.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the Bering straight freezes over in winter so may be a possibility there. I'm sure the thread should be titled,trick,not quick question.

max Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 You could always start at Southampton and drive direct to Barbados using one of these: Watercar Refuelling may be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
