Another sailor considering boating in a strait line!

[NWexplorer]

I've been sailing all my life. I still love it, but when cruising and exploring, most time is spent motoring. Why not enjoy that from the comfort of a pilothouse- especially in the NW. I've been looing at smaller trawlers and my wife is on board too. Late 50's planning for a retirement boat.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome. It was nice to come in from the cold. A cup of hot coffee inside of the pilothouse on a wet and windy day is a beautiful thing.

Welcome...great lead in!....better than the ridiculous "changing over to the dark side" like some use.

 

[NWexplorer]

Thanks for the welcome! It would have been a better lead in if I'd written "looking" instead of "looing". Whole different context.

It's OK, we knew what you meant.......trawler guys are smarter than sailors think....

Yeah, but that works! The loos are usually bigger in trawlers too -
