Thanks for having us.
Nearing retirement, so done with the 33' catamaran (took our family for 10 years sailing all the way down to Colombia) and now the kids are grown and gone, so we have a new to us Albin 34' trawler... single Cummins turbo diesel, and more systems than the space shuttle. Everyone says that sailing is hard, but looking at all these mechanical/electrical/hydraulic systems is way more intimidating to me.
We live near Walnut Creek, but right now our boat is in St. Petersburg FL waiting for us to go bock and shake it out in May and play around FL waiting to join the "Great Loop" at the end of this year.
In the meantime, are there any trawler folks out there that could share some trawler wisdom, or maybe even have me over when you change your oil or need to take the boat out for a spin. I'm a good extra set of hands, quick learner and easy to get along with.
thanks for any help.
