Traveling by Water

Golden, PDQ 34

Golden's Voyages

There's nothing we enjoy more than seeing the world from the water.  Our current boat is a PDQ 34 power catamaran named Golden.  Why then is the site called "Golden Trawler?"  Originally this page was created as a place to post our travel logs from cruises on our first Golden, a Tradewinds 38 trawler.  While the current Golden can go faster than the original trawler, we still prefer to cruise at trawler speeds and experience the world at a slow pace.  

Whether heading out on our own boat or traveling on a cruise ship, we like to keep a daily travel diary.  I write these logs so I can remember all the places we've seen and things we've done, entertaining others with our adventures is a complementary yet secondary by-product.  That said, come along for the ride!
