This big beauty was docked with it’s engine running and the captain was on board doing some paperwork in the pilot house. I did not get to talk to him but the boat was clean and the engine idled smoothly. As to the name of this trawler, that will remain a mystery.

Makes me dream of faraway places. I love boats. All kinds of boats, but right now I’m landlocked in AZ. Aaaargh, Matey!

I love boats, ships, and the sea. But I would be unable to relax on the ocean for fear of rogue waves, and that is the truth. And if I was on a cruise and did not like it, what could I do about it? I’d be stuck.

Your only recourse would be a helicopter if the ship was close enough to shore. Yikes!

Thank you. I was actually on the dock right up against it and it took my breath away.

Alex, the engine purred like a cat. A big strong cat. It was really something to behold. Thank you.

I love this photo… I find myself wishing I was able to set out to sea as a member of the crew of this fishing vessel. Of course, I’d have to learn the ropes…

That explains that. So maybe grandpa set his grandchildren up in business or maybe they just are paying tribute to him. Thanks for the translation home dog.

This is a beauty. I love the sound of those purring engines. I think the sound is so impressive because of the water and the proximity of the engine to the outside of the boat. There is just “something about a boat”. The sound and the vibration are part of that pilot’s DNA by now so that he is no longer aware of them, I’d bet. You grabbed a bunch of wonderful images while you were here, Mike. I love all of them.
