My wife, Carrie, and I just got back from a 12 day charter around the Gulf and San Juan Islands. We started the 2 days of instruction and then headed out on a 10 day flotilla. There were a total of 5 boats. The other 4 were sailboats. We had great weather and visited some great places. Hopefully we will go again next spring. We had recommendations from Trawler Forum members for a trip like the one we took. It was great advise. We were nervous going into it. We had never piloted a boat this size (37 ft) and had only operated a boat with an outboard. We enjoyed piloting the trawler and navigating around the Salish Sea. I am writing to encourage other beginners to charter this way with a couple of days of instruction beforehand.
The first photo is me having a beer in Genoa Bay, the second is Carrie keeping up with our position on the charts, the third is a sunset in Chuckanut Bay our fist night out, and the last isCarrie at the door of Kingfisher, 37 ft Nordic Tug. The owner, I believe, is a member here. Thanks for having her in charter. We took great care of Kingfisher and hope to charter her again someday!
Sorry 2 of the photos are sidways. I don't have time to figure out how to turn them. They were not side wise in my phone's gallery. I got to get back to working...
