Colngratulations. Sounded and looked like a beautiful boat. Bruce H.

I really felt a bit sad watching the aft end of that boat fade in the distance. (Actually, it was fading in the distance because Bill drove faster with the trailer than I could just following it. He really wanted to get it home, I guess.) I have to learn to let go. Stiff upper lip, and all...

And, so, the boat is sold, money exchanged, and down the road she went with her new owner. In the past week, the new owner called one evening, checked the boat on the trailer the next day, put a deposit down, had a sea trial a few days later, and today, we signed paper and it's done. In the...

Bill, If the wind is right, and you keep the throttle at low cruise, I'll sail along next to you. Congratulations! Bruce

Byrdman: get out of boating? Man, I'm not dead yet, and the only way they'll get my hands off a tiller is to pry them off of one when that happens. It would be great to be able to get to Lankford Creek this June. I've missed the other get-togethers when we had C-Dories because I was humping on...

So, a few days after my last post, one evening last week I got a call from a fellow who had seen the ad on C-Brats, and has been doing his homework on C-Dories for a while, and knows his way around boats. He came out the next morning, went over the boat on the trailer carefully, and put down a...

Thanks a million for the suggestions. I'm firmly convinced that if I posted with a question about how to convert a C-Dory into a time machine, there'd be a bunch of folks here with direct experience with time travel, willing to offer that knowledge to the cause. (That doesn't sound right, does...

Brothers and sisters, This is a market which demands careful pricing and patience. The other day, I posted as follows about the process of selling our '92 CD 16 Angler (we put it on the market about two months or so ago): "....So, by February 22 I had several inquiries, one couple had come to...

Another $7500 offer last night, sight unseen. Boat's been on the market less than three weeks with limited advertising as described above. Let's let spring arrive a bit more...

This got posted on the for sale thread by mistake (my mistake)-- So, by February 22 I had several inquiries, one couple had come to see the boat, and one person had made an offer around $7000 sight unseen. One fella had asked if $7500 would be accepted, then tried again with $8000, but it was...

So, by February 22 I had several inquiries, one couple had come to see the boat, and one person had made an offer around $7000 sight unseen. One fella had asked if $7500 would be accepted, then tried again with $8000, but it was hard to tell if he was serious enough to put serious money down if...

Dog, I'm looking forward to meeting you sometime. I get around to AK occasionally. I want to meet a man who thinks the best way to talk about something important is to take snide shots at people who disagree with his point of view. Trouble is, there's too many of y'all. Read Capital Sea's...

Sorry, on review I seeI forgot I'm apparently "envirofascist" as well. :shock: (Historically, that would suggest a big problem with my apparent "red" tendencies, but let's not let actual history get in the way of a good labeling riff.) God, I can't wait for spring.

Review the above posts, and see why George W. got two cracks at it...we've got folks who think nothing of calling people like myself "wack jobs" and accusing us of being "red on the inside" :roll: for being environmentally conscious and outspoken, and are apparently perfectly fine with having...

Here's a good example why it's often unwise to talk politics or religion at family dinners--Milehog, as a "watermellon", in your words, I have an opinion about your point of view--but I'm too polite to post it here. Go in peace. Bruce Holly
