We seemed to be away from home more than usual:
Five driving trips trips to Edmonton for family visits, commitments and one funeral
Two flying trips to Toronto and Halifax for wedding stuff and family visits
One trip to Mexico for our daughter's wedding
Three driving trips to the Vancouver Island for visiting and walking some docks
One driving trip across Canada from Coast to Coast for a total of 3 months away and approx. 14,000kms of driving!
Anacortes and LaConner were calling again for us to walk the docks and get on a few boats that appealed to us. Then on Sunday the 6th October, we took the Anacortes - Sidney Ferry! It was my big "60" Birthday and Jan was gracious giving me my present: 30 days of boat shopping!
We are now in Victoria for a month; spending time playing "tourist", visiting old friends, some family and looking for a boat!
We have looked at the American Tug (AT) Trawlers and had a tour of their factory in LaConner. The AT-34 is a nice sized "couples" boat and meets a lot of our requirements with the exception of a flybridge!
I still like the Pacific Trawler 40, which we have looked at before but unfortunately the timing was wrong for us to put in an offer on that nice boat! The plan is to look at this one in Seattle in mid-November.
And just to add confusion how about this one....
Good thing we have an entire 30 days to do some of this shopping! Big decisions take time :)
