Hello all.
I have been running under radio silence for the past couple of years. But I thought I would post this link to a video I made recently about my "new to me" Independent Shipwrights IS25 trailerable pocket trawler which I bought a year ago. The downsizing continues as the Formosa 42 Europa was replaced by an Ennos 31 for a couple of years and now down to the IS25.
The long-term idea is to allow us to expand our cruising grounds beyond the PNW with future destinations including the Snake/Columbia Rivers, Lakes Powell and Mead, and hopefully part or all of the Great Loop.
We have concentrated on mechanical issues and upgrades to Kittywake so far. And presently we are waiting for trailer modifications to be finished. She will get a full exterior paintjob when she is finally sitting on her trailer.
We have put about 600nm, 115 engine hours and 40 nights on Kittywake so far in the Salish Sea during the past year.
