Hello, I've been lurking for years here and on Cruisers Forum, but never introduced myself. I'll be more active now that we're getting closer to living the dream.
My husband and I plan to spend most of our retirement years coastal cruising in the east coast (think snowbirds) and doing the Great Loop.
We currently boat in the mid/upper Chesapeake Bay with our 28' SeaRay Sundeck and are in the market for a trawler. Wish us luck!

aka River Rat
FWIW, I picked the name River Rat years before I read The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame and met Ratty

Must be fate.
