To me, there's nothing like waking up on the boat just before dawn,
switching the coffee maker on and enjoying the sunrise from my perch (a teak
chair up on the bow). At the slip we have cable TV and power, so I watch
the Red Sox games at night until I fall asleep. Once in a while I move out
onto a mooring in the outer harbor and just enjoy the solitude and gentle
rocking. There, in the morning, I fire up the genny just long enough to
make the coffee, then assume my perch position on the bow.

I really enjoy it, and am fortunate to have the time and an understanding
wife who appreciates how much I like it.

Awesome, a dream. When we stay at the other place we can jump out and
watch the sunsets, take a nap on the river, swim until 3am.. .Man I
miss it.

Ahh yes, the low transom (LT) look no doubt.

Nice boat E.

Took a ride with a rec.boater today Saw an older 32. What a pretty
boat. Great lines, looks, function, just a nice lookin' boat.

No, but we saw a lot of boats that did. Probably half the traffic in
the bay as far as recreational fishing boats had low transoms... I
guess us Nor'Easters just have bigger balls, and better boots, to
boot

Oh good, I was worried I might have to submit to a short arms inspection.

One of my neutered housecats has bigger balls than Reggie Returdo.

That is amazingly childish! Is there some odd progression that once you
hit 60 years old you start acting like a twelve year old until you
finally die?

Here's a poor quality (cell phone) pix of the slip we are in at Scituate.
The slips are really too small for anything over 30 feet, and should
illustrate why I've made many comments about learning to maneuver this type
of boat using the "back and fill" method to back in. It's a tight squeeze
on a calm day. Add a little wind and current and it gets a bit challenging.

Yikes.

I've gotten really spoiled by the GB49. With those big 30 inch props,
a full length keel and 60,000 lbs of weight, it is a very easy boat to
dock. People are always asking if I have thrusters - don't really
need them though.

Congratulations on mastering the single screw challenge. I can
imagine that it's a handful at times.

We had a lot of adventures docking our old Bertram 33. It was
relatively light and had a lot of windage from a full flybridge
enclosure. Once the wind got it moving sideways in close quarters
things became very exciting. We got a lot of practice with quick bail
outs.
