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.
