Our 16ft C-Dory Angler is our first boat - we consider it our starter boat to gain experience before we get a larger boat. What we have learned so far is that it is a very seaworthy boat and after a few interesting launches we became comfortable with our boat, feeling secure. Being a small...

Great job and thanks for sharing. We need to make one, too.

Colby - thanks so much for sharing your pictures. It looks simply magical there! And your Geocache is awesome! Vicky

A big THANK YOU to all of you for your valued input...it was all very helpful!! I love the "back and forth"...you guys really crack me up!! But I am soaking up the info like a sponge.... Paul

I am going to be taking the USCG Spring Weekend Navigator class online. I need to purchase a tablet to run the Navionics navigation app on. Just have an older Samsung Tab so am looking to upgrade. I want to be sure that I get something that can handle whatever might be needed and not have to...

Like Dot and Marty, we take this very seriously here. We have a 54 year old friend in western Washington that is finally recovering from this virus. He has been in quarantine for over 16 days. He was gracious enough to share with his friends every day about how he felt and what care he...

So good to hear that someone else feels the way we do. We sat outside drinking coffee this morning thinking how it is just another day for us. And we, too, felt funny - like we are not part of everything. We live out in the country, so we are always well supplied and prepared for whatever may...

Count us in. 16 ft. Angler and truck/camper since we can't stay aboard. Will launch at Cathlamet. No power needed. Looking forward to seeing everyone! Paul and Vicky

We are new to boating, having had rafts and a canoe. We opted for a 16 ft. Angler after much deliberation. This is our starter boat - the one we learn with. It is a great boat with as much floor space in the back as a 22. Very easy to launch and really nice to have the pilot house for cover...

Like you, we are new to boating, too, and we also went the same route as you with a 16 ft. Angler, same year as yours. We felt it was the right size to learn with. And we feel that we did not just purchase a boat, but we got a great group of friends and support for any and all questions we...

Thanks so much for yet another fun time with the C-Brat family. It was great to see old friends and meet new ones, too. Harvey - you forgot Oregon - there were several boats attending from our state. Traveling without our boat, we stayed on and just left Friday Harbor today. We are now...

Welcome, Dan and Arlyne. Last year was our first time at the Friday Harbor Gathering and we, too, had hoped for camping nearby. But campgrounds are not found in town that we know of. We checked out the San Juan County Park and it seemed like a good place to camp. You might be able to camp...

Looking forward to returning to the Friday Harbor Gathering. Will be landlubbers again, leaving our little 16ft. Angler at home. Puget Sound is big water to us still! Paul and Vicky

The Seattle Boat Show dates are fast approaching (Jan. 25 - Feb. 2). Is there going to be any kind of C-Brats gathering or meet up?

We just got our first C Dory - a 2004 16ft Angler. We took a Coast Guard class in Vancouver WA. for our Boater Education course. Taking a class is really good if you have the time versus the online method. The interaction and visual aids, not to mention being able to ask questions, was worth...
