Trawler Life
I’ve always felt most alive when at the helm of a small ship, navigating uncertain passages. I’ve sailed racing sloops, catboats, and a well-founded sailboat that took our family on month-long adventures through the San Juan Islands of Washington state and the Gulf Islands of British Columbia. For five wonderful years we cruised our Nordhavn 43 trawler, MV Indiscretion, through the beautiful waters of the Salish Sea.Â
