To My Trawler Listees... Even tho' Mae & I never got our Trawler... [yet], we did learn a great many useful things that were applicable to our 1948 18' Lyman Islander side steer, named "Miss Maezie" . We enjoyed the great fact-sharing and humor from people who really enjoyed "messing about in boats". We will miss you all. Forever Grateful to Georgs & Bob for keeping this group afloat. Respectfully, Steve & Mae Merry Christmas and many Happy Years to Come.

BRAVO ZULU. The contributions by all have been the meat & potatoes of trawerling. Making new friends over the years on the forum has been great. Hats off to Bob McCleran for his sage advice over the years and our personal friendship.

Certainly a big “thanks” to Bob for his monitoring. Many of our lives and boating careers have been enriched by the information shared and the friendships started here. There are also the early years of Trawler Fest, and those of us who presented and became friends with the other presenters. Those of us who have come to know Georgs and his dedication to various aspects of boating, including owning a C Dory appreciate his dedication. Thanks! I am now 85 and it became apparent that this was finally the time to give up most of our boating. We are keeping an 18 foot Caracal Catamaran Center Console and a 9’ fatty knees Dinghy. I started skippering in races my dad’s 26’ sailboat when I was 13. (I won the first race and the series I first skippered when my dad was traveling. That lead to a sailing career of over 40 years and over 200,000 miles.) Fair winds and following seas to all.
