It's wonderful to read (participate) in your adventure. My wife and I toodled around in a OI 41 on the Great Lakes, East Coast and Bahamas before trying the trawler life in a vintage Mainship 34 (#22) but my ancient knees couldn't do the bilge thing so now we watch videos.

Scott Flanders from Egret responds:
Art, thank you for following VofE. It appears you and your wife had your own adventures. Perhaps now a charter every now and again will keep the memories going. Let someone else get into the bilge. Just turn the key, putter around a bit and drop the anchor. As you know, you don't have to go far to enjoy yourselves. Thanks again, Scott and Mary
