Hello,
My wife and I are flying from Texas gulf coast to Seattle week of Aug 21 to find us a boat. It’s supposed to be 105 here today. We cruised between Tacoma and Desolation sound on a 280 Sundancer in 2014 and 2015 (we did Great Loop on it too) and are ready to get back. The plan is to buy a nice boat (2 heads and staterooms) keep it at a nice marina, and escape the heat at least 2-3 months each year.
My main question today is if anyone has a NT between Seattle and Anacortes we can visit. I think its the 44 we are considering but NT says they dont have anything available without a ferry ride. We are trying to avoid this since it takes half a day or more.
We are visiting Helmsman Trawlers, Ranger Tugs, American Tugs, Apolonian Yachts for new order options; and also a couple used boats. We’d love to include Nordic Tugs. One reason is they are quoting less than one year lead time.
If anyone has any useful advice about where to see an NT, or comments including first hand knowledge of any of these boats, we’d love to hear it. Shelter Bay marina in La Conner has a slip available so would also like to hear about this marina. Thank you.
Roger
