I know a couple of inlets where you'd have a hard time coming in against an outgoing tide and a westerly wind with that boat. The inside passage to Alaska has some current rips that look like rapids during tide change. they say the trawlers all line up to make it through at slack tide. Want more power! Actually, anybody with much time at all on our regional waters will try to time their arrival for slack, or near abouts. Here's why: Most of those "rapids" result in moving a lot of water through a very narrow passage. Imagine a 14-foot tide change (not uncommon here) ebbing or flooding through a hundred yard wide, or less, opening. Even *if* your boat has the power to run against the flow, it's ridiculous to do so. Example, Dodd Narrows. Maybe 40-50 yards wide, on average, with a bit of turn involved. Rocks on both sides. There is a huge lumber mill just north of Dodd, and there are log rafts running through there all the time (at slack). With all the lumbering in the area, there is a constant need to keep an eye out for drift. The guy who runs 18 knots into the 6 knot current to net 12 knots thinks he's got the cat by the pajamas.........until he gets an eyefull of the 2-foot diameter log, dead ahead, sideways in the current, headed straight for his stem and probably his props. No time or room to turn around...KER_CHUNK! Now he's dead inthe water, drifting astern, out of control. No thanks. You can separate the veterans from the greenhorns and the wannabe's around here by watching which boats try to run one of these passes against a serious flow. You can have all the power in the world at your command, but the bottom line is that there's nobody steering that oncoming log. Trawler boaters, like traditional seapeople everywhere, use tides, currents, and often even wind to our advantage and plan our passages to work *with* the forces of nature, rather than try to overpower them. And, oh, yeah.... with 800 gallons of fuel this boat probably approaches a 2000 mile range. Would last me about 2 years. :-) Some of your "fast boats" burn half of that in a three day weekend runing maybe 200 total miles. |

It's available in either a full displacement or semi displacement hull, and the semi would be maybe a knot or so faster I'd think. Sunnfjord is primarily known for commercial fish and charter boats, and this hull is one of their commercial designs. Up this way, we don't have to go far to start having fun aboard a boat. If I want to fish, I have caught salmon in years past just a few hundred yards from the breakwater at the marina. I know of about a dozen fun, interesting, spots all within an hour and a half to two hours' trawler cruise from my slip. No need to go fast when you boat in Paradise, you're "there" when you cast off. :-) |

Stop trying to exhibit your fake low class. If you had an inside passage like we do you'd lust just like Chuck. like hell. the need for speed - inside passage my ass. :) You fishermen have single track minds. You should stop and smell the roses every now and again. sure - get a nose full of rose pollen and go into anaphylactic shock. great idea. LOL, thanks thats a great way to wake up. -- Reggie |

And I want to visit Donelle, too, over in Shemogue. That would be a nice cruise home, on a new Cape Islander type boat. Hope it's fuel efficient. |

My idea of "Paradise" includes lots of sunshine, temps in the 80s, warm water. I believe that excludes the Pacific Northwest. During portions of the year, we have everything except the warm water. We pretty much stay out of the water. Things we don't have a swarms of mosquitos, oppresive humidity, any serious need for air conditioning on a boat, early summer sunsets, manatees, overcrowded transient moorages (most of the time), wall to wall housing and civilization around our best cruising areas, or a 30 or 40 mile run to someplace that fish are biting. :-) |
