Trawler John and hi Herreshoff 2.5 sail boat - 2012

2012 Marina Kona Kai Shelter Island San Diego, CA
 On a dock walk I walked by Trawler Johns boat. There are lots of John’s at our dock so he is Trawler John. 

He lives aboard a big wooden trawler with his wife and has a nice  Herreshoff  2.5 sail boat. 
 John sails his Herreshoff  2.5 sail boat around the marina quite often and it is a real nice looking boat. John is usually seen with his dog. He is quite knowledgeable about boat work also. Seems always ready with a story and quite friendly. Nice to have neighbors like this.
 He actually only lives down the dock from Kettenburg John.

 John was telling me the story of the Herreshoff  2.5 family and the boat, quite interesting. 
Looking out our stern at his wooden sail boat.
Can not see him but his dog is in the boat with him snoozing, what dogs do :)
Quite a nice boat!
