About The Author
My love of water started very early as my grandparents had a small cottage on a lake. My grandfather had the first motorboat – a 14’ Crestliner with a 40 HP Johnson. Later in my teens my dad bought a 21’ bowrider when we lived on the coast of Massachusetts. When Stephanie and I got married, I told her I wanted us to have a boat and instead we started having kids! Thirty-four years later, our four kids have grown and moved on and we bought a 30’ Sea Ray Sundancer. We totally fell in love with the boating lifestyle. Three years later, as Stephanie was wrapping up her 30 year career in early childhood education, she came home one day and suggested that we go on a big adventure. A couple days later she had the idea to live on a boat! I instantly said “yes!” I am fortunate to be able to run my coaching business from the boat and we’re having the time of our lives.
We had such a nice time- thanks for the invite! Wishing you all the best as you head north on Friday! Godspeed and keep in touch!

Jim and Stephanie,
Southern Trawl made it to Charleston – a fun trip! Thanks so much for the pictures of our departure from OL. Would love to see you if your travels take you thru our waters.

Hi Cheryl, I’m so sorry that I’m just seeing this note now! We are getting ready to head out if only weather would cooperate!
