Hello all.
We are mid atlantic family with a five year plan to retire (semi if necessary) with much of our time to be spent in the Pacific NW. We are seriously considering a liveaboard trawler to explore and pick that perfect town/marina to spend most of the time. We have not been trawler owners/liveaboarders but spent several years living and sailing the texas coast on a full keel sloop. Most importantly we havent lived in the pacific nw.....My wifes dream has been to find a great marina in SE Alaska.
So much to learn! Boats? (older but ready to cruise, i am thinking a minumum of 47 with a budget of less then $250K, three staterooms), great marinas for live aboards? good towns (Sitka)? Perminant slips (waiting lists)?
Advise is greatly appreciated!
