Enjoying the Conversation
I joined recently, and have enjoyed reading the conversations about dreams, boats, travel, insurance, maintenance, brokers and lifestyle. I appreciate the tone and thoughtfulness that seems to be the standard for this forum. Thank you.
I don't currently have a large boat, but have a deep appreciation for full displacement, economically powered and skillfully handled trawlers. As a young man, I was fortunate to run a 50-year old, 61-foot Trumpy for 7 years for a great owner, and to participate deeply in her drydock work. The 25 years after that job were focused on business. Now that I'm retired and still in good health, I'm looking forward to more time on the water.
Thanks for sharing your dreams, ideas and practical experience.

Trumpy's are incredible. How fortunate you were. Congratulations, and welcome aboard TrawlerForum.
Pictures are always welcome, especially of the Trumpy. Gosh, I love the looks of those magnificent graceful ladies. They really are special, with the sort of elegance that is (in my opinion) missing in many of the more modern vessels.

Welcome. Hopefully, we'll now be treated to some Trumpy tales.  I am good for battleships, destroyers, and Grand Banks 42s.

Welcome. You sound like a nice gentleman. Something we can always use more of here. Please join in the conversations and let us know more about your current and/or future boating plans. To be retired AND in good health is not someting to be taken for granted so make the best of it!

Welcome aboard
Thats some pedigree. How fortunate you were to be involved in business with such a vessel. Your expertise on matters unique to old vessels will be appreciated.

Welcome to the TF. Some years back, the Huckins yard did a major resto on a Trumpy - maybe you caught wind of it when she was here. No doubt you have a keen eye for the marque - there's nothing else on the water exactly like them, is there?

Welcome aboard! Like Peter said, talk about anything but anchors!
Do you have any photos of the Trumpy you worked on?

I'm sorry. I just went back to delete my post above, but too late! It was probably an unwise post.
There is another TF thread discussing challenges of making pancakes on an induction stove. I made a reference to Aunt Jemima, not knowing that the brand had been discontinued. Then someone provided that bit of information, along with a little bit of history -- and the thread discussion devolved into a bubbling debate that is no longer related to pancakes, really.
I expect that if it goes much further, the Admins will delete thread.

LOL thanks, sorry I missed that one!
I find this stuff easy for boat use. Easy to store and mix and single use conatainer.
