Trawler Life – Living and Cruising aboard our Yacht Sea Venture in Alaska EP 67

We cruised our trawler Sea Venture through the smaller passages westbound and fished along the way. We squeezed through smaller passages to a ‘maybe too small’ anchorage and had to reassess after some winds came through. We experienced minor north pacific swells on our way to a westernmost anchorage and enjoyed watching the huge numbers of fish jumping.

Some of our favorite things:
Eartec Headphones: Jim talked about them while anchoring. We use them a lot—anchoring, docking, fishing and whenever we need to talk and prefer not to be yelling at each other! Here is a link to see exactly what we have: https://amzn.to/3pLmINh

This is our trawler life story.

We retired early and decided to make a big change. We sold everything and moved aboard our 54' Cheoy Lee passagemaker, a “go anywhere in the world”, ocean going power boat.

That was in 2014 and we have never looked back. Now in our late 50's we are free of work and we are living aboard and cruising our trawler full time.
We have two additional crew members, feline brothers, Blake and Barkley. Yes, we have two brave (sorta) boat cats, on board!

Join us and our crew, on our adventures as we explore new places, discover more about our trawler and what makes her work, and learn more about ourselves in our young retirement years.

Our hope is to entertain and inspire you to pursue your own passions through telling our story of our cruising trawler lifestyle.

We end most episodes with a “Trawler Q&A” where we answer your questions.

Thanks for watching, subscribing and liking Cruising Sea Venture!
Best, Jim, Rosy, Blake and Barkley
