Decisions, Decisions.......

Oh, what to do?

Our 2010 cruising season took us up to Northern Vancouver Island, to South Sound and back!

Kozad has been a wonderful small ship, one which has provided us with a means to gain confidence and experience on the water. The past four boating seasons has seen our cruising distances increase and our time spent on the water go from weeks to months!


Our 2010 cruising season saw us on board Kozad for 75 days. We now find ourselves in a position where we are talking more and more about our evolving boating needs, requirements and wants.

Both of us love being on the water and if we are to continue boating we want to expand our cruising experiences; being on board for 6 months or longer, cruising greater distances, experiencing new and unknown destinations! This desire is one which is hard to explain, but one which is very real!

Kozad is very capable of cruising to far off destinations and many owners live full time aboard their
Willard 30; traveling North to Alaska and South to Mexico. The Willard is a very safe and comfortable boat! We though, have outgrown Kozad's size and amenities; and are wanting a larger, more comfortable vessel and faster trawler.

If we wish to continue boating; we must make some decisions as to what our cruising style will be and what type of boat we will need to fulfill those needs.

Maybe one of these would do.


Cherubini Independence Trawler


Beautiful USA built 45' Raised Pilot House Trawler


Great Layout! We were on one of these at the Anacortes Boat Show Loved It!!!!


Or one of these Great Harbour N37 which are still being built in USA.
Jan prefers a 37 foot boat over a 45 footer!

Maybe Craig should just loose weight, then he will not need to go to a bigger boat!

Our son Jim says I should put a parental block on Craig's computer,

so he cannot look at any more boats!
