Hello members,
New to the forum, so here’s an intro!
We (Elaine and I) have a 2005 32 Nordic Tug, “Unwined” which we purchased in 2019. It is a rare chariot bridge version. Unwined has a single 5.9 6BTA JWAC Cummins.
We kept it at South Beach Harbor next to Oracle park and McCovey cove in San Francisco, and we’re members of the Bay Area Nordic Tug owners group, where we’ve made some good friends. We enjoyed taking it to Napa, Petaluma, the Delta, Sausalito, Angel Island, Clipper Cove, and the Alameda estuary. We used it often down there.
Last month we had it trucked up from from San Francisco to Bellingham WA, and cruised it across the Canadian border to have at our cabin on Decourcy Island in the southern gulf islands of BC before we cruise it to Alaska.
Our plan is is cruise Alaska Jun- Aug, and then sell it and look for a 36-42’ trawler for the Great Loop.
Our boating experience:
‘90s: Seattle area, cruising our first boat, a twin I/O 30’ Bayliner Command Bridge (2958) around the San Juan Islands and Canadian Gulf Islands, with trips to Desolation Sound, the Brightons, and Prices Louisa Inlet. Mostly weekend warriors out of LaConner WA in the summer and in Lake Washing in the winters. We were on it almost every weekend between May-Sep for 4 years! We have a lot of experience anchoring and stern tying as most boaters around here have.
A while after moving to Silicon Valley, we purchased a 30’ Grady White Marlin with twin outboards and primarily recreationally fished for salmon in the not always calm Pacific just north of the golden gate between Muir Beach and Drakes bay as far out as the Farralon’s. Had that for 5 years until we bought the tug.
Since 2005 we’ve also fished and explored the gulf islands near Decourcy on our Nautica 18’ RIB which has a Yamaha F115 outboard and use it as our utility boat/garbage scowl. It handles good sized waves. We hope to tow this to Alaska to fish, prawn and explore.
Look forward to interacting and hopefully meeting some of you on the water.
Mike
