We will make every reasonable or unreasonable effort to come back this June. The big news for us is that sometime this summer, probably right after the Trawlerfest, our brand new trawler will be launched. Once all the needed interior goodies are in we will put our "hooch" up for sale, then its "good bye" jobs and we will be liveaboards again after about 14 years. We lived on a Wharram Cat before but were not retired which should make a big difference. The budget will be tighter for sure since I am going before I need a wheelchair to get around. Our floating home is a custom built and designed Power-Dory based on the San-Pierre fish boats used on the Atlantic side of Canada. We need to travel on a shoestring budget so this boat is powered by an engine smaller then some of you guys use to run your generators. Will it work?? I sure hope so!! Lenght on Deck is 32 feet ;displacement is 7tons(long ones). Since it is a dory and therefore flat on the bottom we have two long keels to keep the boat upright when beaching. Transporting by land can be done on a flatbed truck. The prop is neatly tucked between the keels and out of harms way as much as possible.To keep the construction cost to a minimum and still use a professional builder we used marine grade plywood, closed cell foam and about 1 and 1/2 barrels of West Epoxy. The designer used the tape and glue method of construction which made the interior quite clean looking. This was supposed to be a short note and I am going to stop. Hope to see you all in Poulsbo Uwe & Vera Rohde ( still on land) --------------A133F77B4F50E4E7917B0358--
