Default Going to school

I haven't been on much the last 5-6 months my job keeps me traveling but the wife and I have booked a Trawler School starts 8/24-9/4. This class will allow me to rent trawlers and see which one we like and also make sure she can live on the water.

Hope everyone's been good

Later

Lucky dawg. One day I hope to be able to afford a trawler to travel. Either that, or a small houseboat(under 38 feet and no wider than 12 feet so it can still be trailered without pilot cars) to travel the intercoastal, rivers, and maybe even some lake chains. Still a long ways off for me though.

Doing the great loop in a Trawler has been on my bucket list for years. Have looked at several types. Pretty much love them all. Biggest problem is wife still works (and will for another several years). So it's shelved for now. But someday.....

I'm a fan of Mainship's personally, but there are a few others also that I like

Some models are showing a storm in the eastern gulf in a week. Keep an eye on the low in the southern Caribbean .

Yep. Might even get a "named" storm in a day or so.

Gaston is projected to be a hurricane but forecast to go east of Bermuda.

99-L looks like it might go straight to the s. Fla area, still not even a tropical depression yet though. It wouldn't stop me from going down there.
