- Ocean Alexander 38 DC
After years of dreaming of owning a trawler, we were finally able to buy an 1985 Ocean Alexander 38 Double Cabin that meets almost all of our needs and was within our budget. After taking possession a few weeks ago, my wife and I moved the boat from Kemptville Ont, down the Rideau Canal to Kingston an ultimately our home port of Belleville. It was a bit exciting for us senior citizen novice boaters navigating through some 28 locks. Some of our lock mates said we were crazy but they were smart enough to let us go first so the only thing we had a chance of running into were the lock walls (it didn't happen that often and didn't do any damage.)
Now that we have a boat, many questions will follow. I must say that being a member of the forum for the past few years gave me the inspiration and limited but sufficient knowledge to follow our boat owning dreams.
