I received amazing encouragement & information in reply to my previous post about learning how to retire on a trawler. I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for the support. I have contacted SouthWest Florida Yachts Inc. and scheduled a training class for June & I have rented a GB 32 to take this class on and spend some time on that week. Thank you all so very much for the encouragement. Chuck Choate merlechoate@gmail.com
