We all played this game as kids, and we are better prepared as adults because of the experiences we enjoyed in our youth. Some of us live private lives, keeping to ourselves. This is a form of keep-away that is easy to play…but isn’t there more to enjoy in the outside world?
The secret to success; especially if you know what you want to do and where you want to go, is getting in position.
Do you want to operate your own trawler and travel the high seas? I’m convinced that if you are reading this you already have an edge and further, I believe you can combine your desire and wherewithal to make it happen.
With the first quarter swirling in our wake, it’s time to look ahead and peer through the bow pulpit. For many of us it is all about finding the time – we know we want to take off and go cruising.
You plan to have your own trawler at some point in your life. This is never an impulse purchase and there is a lot to prepare for. What do you need to know? When is the right time?
One of the advantages of cruising in a trawler is that you have more predictable timing – a steady pace makes forward progress and while running at trawler speeds, time slows, but never stands still.
Trawler owners and want-to-be trawler cruisers actually have a lot in common. For buyers, the search involves many steps to find the right boat.
The market of available trawlers is opening up with more quality boats coming on the market and prices shifting slightly lower as supply and demand issues are balancing.
When you spend a lot of time underway, sooner or later you will encounter turbulent waters where the swell, chop, wind, waves and current all come together from different directions to create a bumpy, uncomfortable ride.
It’s that time of year when your boating desire rises like the weather temperature. Thoughts of getting away to go cruising are more realistically achievable. Trawler buyers are scouring the internet to find a boat to buy before it is sold out from underneath them.
