So...how fast does that boat go? I hate wasting time getting out to the
fish.

Is that all a boat adds up to for you easterners? Don't you have any
place to go, sit and enjoy the surroundings and your companions?

Lovely. You deserve it Chuck. Who needs a house anyway?

Maybe you could request an auxiliary motor like that fast super yacht. A
nice gas turbine.


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 should do 9 knots easily. Maybe 10. 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.

That's kind of the way we feel down here in SWFL.

Yes. I have to go to the fishing grounds. And I'd prefer to not have to
leave the house at 11pm to be at the grounds by daybreak.

The only place around here where I could catch a salmon a few hundred
yards from the marina is at a grocery store

I wouldn't mind a trip up your way.

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. :-)
