Sounds like a not often heard section of "Victory at Sea".

That was my guess also.

If you are serious about a GB49 try to find one with stabilizers or
plan to get them installed post-purchase, same for any other decent
sized trawler. They make a huge difference offshore.


I came back from the boat this morning and my wife and I had another long
discussion about boats.
I've come to the conclusion that a trawler or trawler-like boat is what I
want and she agrees.
The 36 GB is what got me hooked, but it's a bit too small to my liking,
plus I would really rather have twins.

Mrs.E. enjoys the boats but doesn't share anywhere near the same interest
in them that I do, just like I can't get over excited about her horses.
But, we respect each other's interests. In her mind, a small trawler,
like "Pangea" is perfect, because she figures it's small enough for me to
single-hand. (always thinking of what's best for me). She doesn't
understand that once you go fat, it's hard to go back.

The GB, should we keep it on the market, is going to sell probably after
the first of the year. The broker is getting more and more calls on it
each week. It's going to be interesting what we do next since we both
agree that we cannot be boatless next year.

I was eyeballing a Nordic Tug yesterday that was just hauled for winter
storage. It's not on the market, but I've been promised a tour the next
time I go down to Kingman.

I'll keep the stabilizers in mind. Thanks.

How about a tug that can tow a barge big enough to hold a couple of horses.
You could explore offshore islands or remote areas on horseback.
here's an example...
