Tacoma

The Boat Guy: The Real Tacoma, Washington (BLOG)

Frankly, those of us that don’t live near Tacoma formulate our “view” of the area by what we see when we drive past on I-5. Well, I can tell you first hand that we “Northerners” are horribly misinformed.

American Tugs

Chicken soup may be good for the soul. But a proper boat, weather of travel-brochure quality, and congenial cruising friends do more to keep me

A side three-quarter view of a large, rugged expedition trawler named "PAUL JOHANSEN" cruising through calm open water. The vessel features a dark blue hull creating a white wake at the bow, paired with a cream-colored superstructure and a high pilothouse. A tall central mast holds multiple radar domes and communication antennas, while the upper deck carries a white tender and a bright yellow kayak. An American flag flies from the stern under a grey, overcast sky.

Straight Life

Once a rescue craft, this Norway-built steel trawler is the ticket to ride for a venturesome crew.
