It's a far less than ideal scenario bordering on a very bad idea. That bike you have is a lightweight crit bike. It is not designed to pull a trailer. The more weight you put in a trailer the more likely you are to break that nice frame on your bike. The stays are very delicate and you will void the warranty if you use a trailer that clamps to the chainstay. The short wheelbase will also make the bike handle badly at speed if you use a BOB. Also keep in mind that one-wheeled trailers are good at damaging frames.
If you insist on doing it use a Chariot-type skewer hitch and a two-wheel trailer and don't put very much weight in it. Even better, don't pull a trailer and do the trip as a credit card tour. Without the trailer you can triple your daily mileage up to 175 miles to 200 miles per day. Lots of people do the PCH that way. Mail your stuff ahead to Seattle.
Or get a Surly Long Haul Trucker.
