Real Time Update and Future Plans

[@nancyernst474]

Thanks for the update and congratulations on your sweet little crew member! More excitement in your life! Good luck finding your new boat.

[@CruisingMaya]

Thank you so much! We are looking forward to lots of family adventures in the future 🙂

In our early 60’s we are keeping our sailboat for a few years while we can still actively sail. At some point I see us moving to a trawler so we can keep boating. We just returned from the southern Gulf islands, and I can’t really see us venturing to much further north in our sailboat. So I suspect that will wait until we hit trawler land.

[@CruisingMaya]

Trawlers offer a lot more comfort in the same amount of length and we're looking for comfort and warmth!!!

[@AwakeInAnacortes]

Congrats on the new crew member. Also, just thought I'd mention that there's a 1984 Monk 36 with a flybridge that might interest you just down the dock from your old slip in Cap Sante.

[@CruisingMaya]

I've actually been on that boat!

[@jimc7991]

That sounds like a great boat want list. I love having the flybridge. Congrats on the new little baby, That's awsome.

[@CruisingMaya]

That's the equation we came up with! Thank you!!

[@mikemoren532]

Congrats from Bellingham! We had our kid first and then kind of fell into boating and a trawler about 4 years ago when our kiddo was about 3-1/2. It has been a blast taking our kiddo out to the San Juans and southern Gulf Islands these last three years. The best of luck finding your trawler soon, and hope to run into you all somewhere out there! Also, loved following your Alaska/BC and Mexico travels:)

[@CruisingMaya]

We can't wait to take our son out on the water! Also, we are planning on continuing to make videos.... working on the next Mexico video now 🙂

[@donandbridget]

Island Gypsy is a great candidate for you... Single Cummins or Ford Lehman power, 80s vintage, Europa on many, Wide distribution. Adoring fanbase!

[@CruisingMaya]

We will have to look into the Island Gypsy!

[@titusmoz]

Congratulations again! So happy to hear from you again! wishing you an awesome find with the boat hunting. Take care you 4! Cheers, T

[@CruisingMaya]

Fingers crossed we find something soon!

[@Wanderglobe]

Awwwww. Congrats guys!! Thanks for the update. Glad Maya went to a good home.

[@CruisingMaya]

Bittersweet, but Maya will continue to sail the open sea which makes us happy.

[@kadycramer6130]

Love this for you!

[@wayneneuhofel6744]

Awesome, best wishes.

[@SailingSVIndigo]

Good luck with the boat search! Hope to see you guys out there by next summer!

[@CruisingMaya]

We will be out there! I vow to not go another summer without a boat!

[@mralexdenny]

Excellent, as a Pacific Northwest boater myself with my partner, going forward a trawler is a good idea, obviously grand Banks is the grand choice, having said that what is your budget? Point to note if you are bringing a vessel down from Canada, the engine must have a EPA rated sticker, if it’s UL rated that’s rated for Europe or Canada

[@CruisingMaya]

We just found a boat in the US but that's good info on the engine note- thanks for sharing!

[@gusallegri5393]

I had a feeling you two had “a new crew member”! Congratulations and kudos to you for having some incredible adventures alone as a couple first! Well done. I’m also looking at similar trawlers up that way ( currently in Cali) how do you feel about those forty year old Taiwan trawlers with original teak decks? I’ve heard they can be terribly difficult to repair?

[@CruisingMaya]

40 year old teak decks freak us out. We actively stay away from teak decks bc of how big the repair is!

[@sailingkashmir]

🎉⚓️Welcome aboard Jameson/Jamison!!⚓️🎉You’re going to have so much fun out on the water with your mom & dad.😎 ~Wayne & Angie (P.S. Tell your mom and dad that we made it to Crescent City, California, just the two of us.😍)

[@CruisingMaya]

He gave the thumbs up and then burped lol! Thanks so much guys- keep up the great work and enjoy Mexico.... it's seriously so wonderful down there. Safe travels and keep up the good work on YT!!!

[@denisbalic3229]

Congrats on the baby! Your channel was great. Not into fuel powered boats. You should build an electric one. People do conversions. I would definitely tune into that.

[@theboakster]

Wow you guys! ❤. That is terrific. Jamison is an old family name so congratulations to you both. By the way Mac and Jenny, the drone that I picked up based on your input is working so well. I’ll watch for trawlers but I’ve certainly seen some nice converted tugs. Take care……. Larry

[@CruisingMaya]

Glad that drone is working out for you! Cheers!

[@mikemcauliffe4786]

Congratulations on the new crew member! As I get older I start entertaining a trawler! Good luck with your search!

[@CruisingMaya]

Trawler for the next few years.... then a big sailboat for some serious adventuring 🙂

[@lindafraley5538]

I can't wait for your new boat! Ships ahoy.

[@CruisingMaya]

We can't either!!!!

[@markbuskens6070]

Trawler hmm,go as big you can marine trader 40 single ford Lehman.you don’t need a thruster.good 1800 rpm 6 kw generator.Albin 36 in a good trawler,Gulfstar made some good trawlers,Hatteras too

[@markbuskens6070]

Thanks for sharing I enjoyed every episode that I watched I really liked to watch you two.have you considered a motor sailor

[@CruisingMaya]

Firmly in the trawler camp- we'll buy a sailboat again in the future for a big trip 😀

[@MarketingStrategies28]

Everything you described was a Nordhavn N41

[@CruisingMaya]

We'd take one of those if we could afford it!

[@stevenself554]

Congratulations on passing Maya onto the next person who will love her and keep her doing what she was meant to do. Trawler…. A great choice up here in the PNW esp with Jameson in tow. Love you guys…. Keep it up!

[@CruisingMaya]

Steve! We just bought a 1980 Universal trawler and we're loving life! We miss ol' Maya but we're having a great time with the new boat! Hope all is well with you- Cheers!

[@mgshoe4526]

Is it practical to take either a single or twin engine trawler on the same journey, to the Panama canal? (Eventually I want to end up in Florida. )

[@CruisingMaya]

Definitely! We met a number of people in Mexico who were traveling south via motor boat. You'd want to really trust your engine and have good mechanic skills for crossings east of Panama, but it's totally possible!

[@mgshoe4526]

Thanks for the encouragement. It has been in my mind for awhile. My concern is for safe anchorages, safe travel, and the availability of diesel fuel.

[@svseafab]

Did you find a boat? You just described my boat and it’s for sale. It’s at Shilshole with a transferable slip. Contact if interested.

[@CruisingMaya]

We did! A 1980 Universal Marine 36 tri cabin trawler.

[@SailingHalara]

Pilot house? Why go power boat?🤷‍♂️

[@CruisingMaya]

Comes down to comfort and space in a sub 40' package.

[@trailzable]

@@CruisingMaya Nauticat answers many of your considerations and still has sails for economical cruising.
