Glad to be a new member!

Having spent a year at sea in my early 20s and as I get older I often look back upon that time with increasing fondness. I don't think I appreciated the sunsets, the peace of the water, and the salty people I came across as I should have. Instead I was too busy looking forward to getting drunk and chasing skirt in the next port we were going to.

Now I am in my mid 30s, married and have a good career here in Louisiana. I have a 20 foot bowrider that gets me on the water, but I yearn for more...and that leads me here.

I have a short to medium term goal of buying a trawler and wanted to research as much as I can. So please accept me cruising through your posts and asking questions as they come up. It is my hope that I can join the trawler community before long!

Fair Winds and Following Seas,
Chris

Welcome! I keep my boat in Houma just off the ICW. There is a lot of good information available on this site!
 
Nice to have another Who Dat on board! We're at South Shore in N.O. Give us a holler.
 
Welcome aboard Chris. I think I remember chase skirts 50 years ago or so.:angel:
 
Welcome aboard. Boatin' and drinkin' and chasin' are like three peas in a pod. All go together well!
 
Well, I'd say you're about 15-20 years smarter than many of us here. I was where you are at around 45. I bought my trawler at 50. As I see it, you'll have all that extra time to enjoy your new boat!

Welcome aboard! Cheers!
 
Welcome Chris !!!! I am also from Houma.

I second this. i wish we would have started earlier.My doctor gave me a new prescription the other day . It said "start slow and scale back "
Oh yeah welcome to the forum.
 
Hey Chris,

I'm a mid 30s guy that has just bought a 43 Defever, and plan on moving it to NOLA in the September October time frame as a live aboard. Any advice on marina's I would love to know!

Blue Skies,

Nicholas
