Made it home with the new Willard on Sunday, three days out at sea. First day it was 8-10 ft swells and she handled it extremely well. So did the crew. We had a few hours of break in between some islands and than hit the Straights. Comox bay was actually the hardest water to cross in the three days. Steep swells with short seconds made for a choppy ride. Saturday was the best with sun and smooth water, one of the best days on the water - what a blessing.

So for those that say finding a nice little trawler (or troller) on a tight budget, look hard . This would be a perfect example of a great package at a reasonable amount. Yes there are projects but right now no heavy lifting. I'll take some pictures soon.

Cheers!
