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.

I can see you two sitting at the kitchen table. You slumped over holding
a coffee between your hands with your head hung low. Your wife pacing
back and forth, one hand on her hip and the other pressing at the air as
she tells you what you should be thinking and what you should want.

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.

See paragraph above.

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.

Speaking in the plural?

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.

Nice boat.

I'll keep the stabilizers in mind. Thanks.
