Thanks for the responses. I'm interested in a finding a bayhouse for a retirement home where I could dock a 40ish foot trawler. Thought this might be a good fit. But, apparently not. Anyway, appreciate the feedback.

Cardude - It's a little further north of your family's house and on the eastern shore. Brand new development. They had all of the lots staked out, and rough grading finished on the roads, but no paving yet. They're claiming the waterfront lots are "dockable" but they're not specific on the...

It's north of the entrance to the Bay, on the eastern side. The new development is on a peninsula just above the area where Fivemile Draw empties into the Bay. There were some large dockable lots, but I didn't see any boats on the water that day. Made me wonder if you could get a decent size...

My wife and I look at some waterfront lots this weekend on Carancahua Bay, near Palacios, Texas. This bay is just off of Matagorda Bay. Has anyone done any boating on Carancahua? The developers said it was deep enough for a 4-1/2 foot draft boat, but I'm kind of skeptical. Would appreciate...

I've been considering buying a pellet grill for my house, to supplement my gas grill. Easy and quick to start up (like gas), but with the flavor of grilling with hardwood. They use electricity to start the pellets on fire and to run a small auger motor to feed pellets to the fire box. Not...

If you're out on the south west side of Houston (Sugar Land / Richmond), try Nick's. Awesome food. But beware of Nick, the owner. A lot of folks really like him, however, he can be a bit rude, kind of like Seinfeld's Soup Nazi. But, the food is totally worth it.

Hi. Can anyone recommend a good "Trawler School" where I can get several days of hands-on instruction on a 40 to 46 foot trawler? I'd like to find something anywhere along the Gulf Coast or the eastern Florida coast. I want to get enough experience to qualify for some future bare-boat...

Funny video on YouTube. I think y'all will get a kick out of it. And perhaps learn how not to start your boat.

Hi - I posted a while back about being a lake guy, but wanting to swap that lifestyle for that of a trawler owner. I’m still in the process of selling my vacation lakehouse, but that should happen soon (I’ve got it under contract), and I can then begin my search for the right trawler for me...

Murray - Thanks for the insight. I was just curious about any impacts to the local cruisers, but I really do appreciate the historical background and political perspective. Didn't realize you had such a depth of knowledge on the topic.

Murray - how are all of the LNG developments impacting your cruising around Kitimat?

Thanks for the feedback. Your suggestion of charterring before buying is a good one. We had been discussing possible charters to see what types of trawlers would work best for us. Also, we're considering a trawler school where an experienced captain takes us out on his boat for several days...

Hi. My wife and I are about four years out from retirement. Up until a few years ago, our vision for retirement was a nice lakehouse in the Texas Hill Country, with a boat or two and a couple of jet skis. Something that we could enjoy day to day and hopefully a place where our kids would want to...
