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.



And if they are angled properly, you can use them to wedge yourself off
a sandbar when you hit bottom.

Not sure if you are trying to make a serious point or not but I'll
give you the benefit of the doubt. The GB49 has a full length keel
which is almost always the first thing to touch bottom in skinny
water. The stabilizer fins are amidship and do not extend deeply
enough to hit anything in most cases. On the few occasions where we
have nudged a sandbar a quick shot of power in reverse is all that it
took to free it up. That assumes you don't park it somewhere at full
speed of course.

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.

There are quite a few of these on the resale market down here, and they
look damned close to new. One of my favorite "RV" type boats, by the way.

It's funny. Last summer I spent some time window shopping on the web and
the Nordic Tug kinda stuck in my head.

I think I am beginning to see a plan coming together.

1. Follow through with the sale of the Navigator.
2. Sell the GB shortly after Jan 1.

Fire up the Sprinter RV, kiss Mrs. E. goodbye and mosey along going south
for a month or so doing some boat shopping. Stop in and see how old Jim's
doing with his pineapples, bananas and Sousaphone, then head back.

Mrs. E. can't complain about that. I'll be home for the holidays but gone
when severe winter depression usually sets in.

There will be a prize - not sure what yet, but there will be one for
the first correct answer.
Adventures in Paradise.

Cheater. :)

Try this one.

It was just a wild-assed guess on my part...really. I'll let someone else
stab at Song Number II.

Better be a good prize.

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

"Space: Above and Beyond".

And yes, there is a nautical component - it's about a space Navy and
it's compliment of Marine Corps pilots/Special Ops Team.

Well, maybe a slight cheat. Sorry.

Ok, let's try this one - should be easy. It's SO not as obscure.

Nautical theme still.

Now there is a passel of kids.

Congratulations Gramps.

And a complete non-sequitur.

I like it. :)
