I have a William Garden designed 66' wooden cruiser. It was built in 1956 at Tacoma Boat shipyard. I currently live on it and working at a full restoration of it. I'm a licensed USCG 100 Ton master as well as a Alaskan commercial fisherman.
In 2012 I ran a high seas tuna fishing vessel in the south pacific and north pacific albacore fishery. I traveled 27,000 nm in 11 months. this year I commercially fished salmon in Alaska from may until September. So as you can see I am gone for long periods of time.
My plans are to find a partner willing to invest in the completion of my restoration so that I/we can use the boat in the Alaskan ecotourism industry. I have a 6 acre homestead in the Misty Fiords Natioal Monument. On it I have a two story, three bedroom house built on the bank of a salmon producing river.
My plans include building eco friendly yurts or cabins, and to provide hking, fishing, kayaking, or just a place to get away from it all. It could also be used as a corporate retreat with full use of the vessel with me as your captain/partner.This boat is capable of world wide cruising and can be used any where we want to go.
