Our first week long voyage is complete! Thanks to everyone for the insight and advice– we did not take as many side trips as planned and ended up in a marina every night so the dog was very happy! Weather was perfect, boat ran great – success all around. The Galveston Yacht Basin was very...

thanks for the details on the San Bernard - will give you an update on what we find, may have to at least make it to the 1st restaurant. We spend most of our time in Port A around the Lydia Ann and off the jetties. We kept the boat there last summer, but prefer the slower pace of Rockport.

Excellent catch - thanks for sharing. We will be in Valdez in August and can't wait to drop a few pots in between trolling for silvers!

thanks Drake - we are only doing 1 day in Galveston so we may stick the yacht basin so we are closer to the oil rig museum. I saw your post on the San Bernard last fall - did you ever make it up there at all? We are looking for additional things to do that are a couple of days out of...

aha!! - got it, thanks for the pic. Wish I had something like that on hand at our boat yard last year. Beats tying the fender sideways - have my project for this week!!

Thanks for all the info. Will do on the active captain / may try and post updates if we can figure it out. Thought we would also try the eBoat card feature. We plan to take bikes to check out Matadorda island - after the last month I hope it is hot and DRY! Grey sailor - appreciate the...

Taking our first week long cruise after 4th of July and would like some input on possible ICW stops and anchorages on the way. We ran the ditch last summer when we brought the boat home so I am familiar with the route and spent the night in Matagorda marina but didn’t do anything else along the...

Hello and Congratulations on the new boat! We have owned a 37 Atlantic Double Cabin sister ship of yours since last spring. Our is a 1988 with the galley down and bunks and we absolutely lover her. I have seen a couple different plans for the Prairie's - is your galley up or down, and...

thanks! 8.2DD w/1400 hours - previous owner indicated 9knt cruise @ 2100 rpm. lots of research on those (thanks to trawler forum and boatdiesel.com) and a clean bill of health with a separate engine survey 22/22 props that are in process of being refinished - figure i would send the captain...

Hi CaptTom - saw I several of your posts while we were doing our research. You have a very nice boat and I read lots of good things on the coastal cruisers - but hard to find. I looked at the 36 Prairie that Larry has for sale in JaX area and really liked it, but we really wanted the bunks for...

we are having the captain take her to Pensacola via the Okeechobee waterway. Then we will take some time to bring her back in a couple of legs over the summer. I figure the ICW is a great place to learn about the boat and good a reason as any to stop in New Orleans and eat.

After months of looking we finally found the boat for us!! 1988 37 Atlantic Double Cabin w/galley down and bunks up front. A super huge shout out to Daddy O for educating us on trawlers, coordinating several out of town looking expeditions, and handling our offer and closing. It was nice to...

PM Sent - I hope! still new to forum and control panel - let me know if not received

oh - any heavy metal penguins rule!! PB

thanks for making us feel so welcome!! seems my welcome post wasn't as fun as another couple, but I can assure you that was my Whaler in the avatar pic :D Kitelog - congrats on the Mainship, hope the purchase works out. If you are referring to the the 39 by Hampton's Landing, it's a beautiful...

Hello Everyone - We have sold the Whaler and decided to find a boat we can spend long days, nights, weekends, vacations and maybe even longer on. Looking forward to the Trawler lifestyle with the family. Now just need to find a good one! The wife and I have been cruising (ahem) the forum for...
