The seminar schedule for the 2023 Trawlerfest at the Anacortes Boat & Yacht Show 2023 has been posted. We’ll be presenting this year on Friday May 19th at 1:00pm on our trip around the world in Nordhavn 52 Dirona.

We will describe some of the techniques we used to make the trip more safe and comfortable for longer passages and at the dock, ranging from watch-keeping and fuel management to living on a 60Hz boat in 50Hz countries. And we will share highlights of our trip, such as passing through Russia to tour Finland’s Great Saimaa Lake system and cruising Stewart Island off southern New Zealand.
