Hi,
We recently sold our Pacific Seacraft sailboat and purchased a Nimble Vagabond pocket trawler. We had spent 6 months on the inland rivers living on our sailboat and loved the time spent on the sailboat but decided a small trawler would fit the bill for future adventure. I grew up on the upper Mississippi River and found it is real hard to get being a river rat out of my system.... so we sold the sailor.
The Vagabond was purchased in Florida and we will be taking the Vagabond to the upper midwest this summer and fitting her out for cruising the rivers and lakes. It appears to be a neat little boat and should be able to skim into those backwaters real nice. She does need some buffing and fitting out but we are excited about the possibilities of our small cruiser. We decided to name our Vagabond "Tadpole".
We are living fulltime in a 5th wheel trailer and have adapted to a fulltime transient life. I am particularly interested in conversing with any other Vagabond owners that may be on the site.
So we have converted to motoring and looking forward to meeting folks on this site and on the water.
