After crossing the Gulf of Alaska we are ready to go cruising in Prince William Sound. But not so fast, first we have to wait out more stormy weather in Cordova. We leave Cordova and head further north in search of better weather. What we find on the way while fishing requires the harpoon!

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

A friend of mine gave me 50 lb. of Halibut. We cooked it a # of ways, you name it. My 12 yro daughter one day 1/2 through the meat said. “ U know the best way to cook Halibut is with Butter & garlic! !! “ enough said. That’s my girl & the family agreed ! Great eating fish ! Anacortes, Wa.

One big fish. Halibut is so good.

I show my wife your videos from time to time. When I retire and after the kids are out of the house, we are planning on downsizing to a small house and a motor yacht for cruising Puget Sound, SE Alaska, the Caribbean and the US east coast Loop route. In the off months, I plan to lease it out to make enough money with it to pay for the next season's cruising. That's a good looking halibut, perfect size for eating. All the best to you both.

How much could you lease out a 48’ trawler for a month? Roughly just curious because I am interested in doing the same thing

@kevintwiss3495 2 года назад

I was surprised when I went through 1/3 of the video without seeing a cat lol.

@slipshankd1307 3 года назад

I was thinking you guys were not making more videos so I looked you up and find I am not getting your notification of new videos but I clicked the bell and selected all. I used to get all of them and didn't get the last two. I think its funny when the try to predict weather a month to 6 months. My wife says they say the winter is going to have record cold weather, and I laugh and say don't worry they don't know and I don't know.

That orca surfing just before the bulbous bow is getting a free ride due to the high-pressure zone created ahead of that big bulb. I spoke about this in another video that the bow is much too big and that the high-pressure zone shows the effective increase in length of the original boat. Note how the whale starts flapping its tail as soon as it moves out of the pressure zone and how quickly it returns to it and how easy it is for the whale to feel and be so sensitive to that high-pressure zone. Obviously, all that energy absorbed by the whale comes at the expense of the fuel of Sea Venture. Again in my opinion that bulbous bow on such a short boat is accelerating the water laterally a little too fast and I would have shaped that big bulb to decrease the lateral acceleration with a reduction of lower pressure zone at the front of the boat and less thumping on the hull of the boat. Still, Sea Venture is a beautiful boat and the two people shown in the video are a real lady and a gentleman in their manners and deportment. Well done folks. Thank you for welcoming us on board.

What scenery WOW. I enjoy the episodes like this one where you are fishing or crabbing. Seafood self sourced to supplement the pantry is always better. I'd grill mine with a cream and garlic sauce to garnish and maybe some spot tail prawns YUM 😊

Nice fish! You're set for halibut for awhile. Enjoying watching your videos & are looking forward to seeing your adventures up in Prince William Sound. Maybe if the borders open up, you can stop by in Deep Bay, BC for some Canadian hospitality on your way south.

@eightbars1 3 года назад

I got curious when I wrote the previous message, so I looked it up. 400 pound halibut are not unusual near Unalaska Island, where Dutch Harbor is, so while it was a huge fish, it wasn't a record holder. The fish you caught is the perfect size! You can get a few great meals out of that fish!

Thanks for all the great videos.

Wow that's a big halibut! Almost the same size as the 51"er I caught in Takatz this year. You had a much easier time landing it than I did from our dinghy. It looks like the spear disabled it pretty quickly? Did you manage to eat all of that?

@jaquigreenlees 3 года назад

Interesting narrative. 60 pounds of halibut, that is a massive chunk of food at little cost compared to buying it. When processing it, naturally there were fillets for fish and chips dinners, did you also cut steaks from it for grilling? Fillets can also be done up in a pan with butter so very useful cut.

Warm water and sunshine . . . At least for now. I'm sure we will circle back to Alaska at some point in the future. But for now, we are planning to spend a few years in the tropics. Thanks, Jim

@eightbars1 3 года назад

Not to steal your thunder, but..I was commercial fishing out of Dutch Harbor in the mid-80's and we brought up a halibut in our nets that was close to 10 feet long. We strung him up below decks, where the ceiling was about 8 feet and his head and tail were too long to fit in that 8 foot space. We got about 400 pounds of steaks off him and brought them back to Seattle when we were done fishing in the Bering Sea. I will never forget the size of that fish! And I have no idea if that is unusual or what.

@CruisingSeaVenture 3 года назад

Oh, we know. For just the two of us this is a perfect size halibut. We caught a 220 lb and a 115 lb about 60 minutes apart once. We were giving away Halibut for months. Thanks, Jim
