I have ran boats most of my life past the age of 19 years old. Nothing bigger than 52 feet but commercial fished all over SE Alaska and the Washington Coast and Straits of Juan De fuca. I have to tell you that these little C-Dories are one tough boat. I have had my 22 out in the Straits sometimes when I had most assuredly had rather not been there. There hasn\'t been one time when I felt like I didn\'t have control over the boat. Not too sure about Lori though. I remember one time she looked over at me and said,\"this ain\'t going to roll over is it\" I will have a little trouble giving up boating as we have known it, but Lori will turn 84 on her birthday and I guess it\'s time to do some changes. Putting the Lori L up for sale is not going to be easy.
