Colby. I never know if this will be the last year for this event. Everything is health related and how much energy I have left.

Just an update. John and Laurie of Slack Time and John and Robbin of Dinner Belle II will also be joining us in Catalina this year. It is likely we will drive down together from Northern California.

The 17th Annual Catalina Off-shore Adventure is hereby scheduled from Sunday, August 7, 2022 to Saturday, August 13, 2022. Please mark your calendars as we are reviving this great event. Please see 2017 for details from the 16th Annual Off-shore Adventure. We did not do this C-Dory trip for...

Well, we finally made it home, October 1st, as planned. We spent 6 days driving out to Watergate Marina (St. Paul), and spent 7 days driving back from Grafton, Illinois to Sacramento, California. The land part of this trip for us from California was much more challenging than the water part. We...

Scott and Barb. Welcome abord. I sent you a followup email. Jim & Kath

Sandpiper on Anura 16 - going on Mississippi River Cruise Ship. We will just be arriving Red Wing, Minnesota on 9/11/21. You are leaving that day from the same port. What is the name of your Cruise Ship so we can look for you the next several days downriver? Jim & Kath

Good Colby. PM your email to me and I will send you an itinerary of our trip. Also provide your cell phone number. Jim & Kath

Hi Colby. We plan to rent a car in Alton, Illinois and drive back to St. Paul, Minnessota to pick up our trailer rigs. It is 536 miles back by road. We may have to stay overnight in St. Paul before we head back the next morning. It is 265 nautical miles from Dubuque, Iowa back to...

Hi Colby. Hope you can come. Good to have someone from the Midwest go. Jim & Kath

Good to have you on board Steve and Carman. I will send you our detailed itinerary and some references to consider getting. I will send it by email. Fantastic to have a big C-Dory join us!

Dear All: Still looking for a few more boats to join us on the Upper Mississippi. Right now we have 3 boats for sure and maybe a 4th (Dr. Lewis) that is dependent on his health condition at the time. Dr. Bob if you do not do the Erie Canal as your last trip consider our Upper Mississippi River...

Dr. Lew. Good to have you onboard. Yes you are boat four. Hope Doris can come. Send me your email and I will send you an itinerary and some references to check out. Also send me your cell phone.

At this point we have three vessels signed up for this adventure: Jim & Kath (Pounder), Floyd & Eiko (Far C’R), and Steve & Karen (SeaSpray). We are still seeking another possible two vessels, if you want to go. Again, it would be great if someone from the Midwest went with some local knowledge...

After our successful 2017 Lewis & Clark Snake and Columbia Rivers Cruise and our successful 2018 Nashville Skyline Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers Cruise, Floyd and I have decided to embark on a 2021 Mark Twain Big River Cruise (on the Upper Mississippi). Videographer Floyd (C-Dory Far C’R)...

Thank you Zenith for the detailed reply. I will likely do something similar with my small Suzuki.

Zenith: I am interested in how you got that little Suzuki 2.5 to fit over the back transom of the C-Dory? I also have a 2.5 Suzuki and my motor bracket does not open up enough to clear the transom width. How did the aluminum brackets help with the mounting? Thanks for the information. If I...

I just finished reading “Artic Solitaire” by Paul Souders (2018, Mountaineers Books). I recommend this book for any C-Dory owner. It is the amazing story of Paul, who takes his 22 foot C-Dory, over multiple summers, to Canada’s Hudson Bay, and beyond Latitude 65, all in order to photograph...

Brent & Dixie: I remember meeting you both clear back in 2007, 13 years ago, at both the Catalina Offshore Adventure and the Delta-Bay Extravaganza. My how time flies. I understand your selling the vessel at this stage in life. My boat has also sat in storage all year long, but I hope to get...

Dear All. Due to the Coronavirus we are canceling the Catalina Offshore Adventure for 2020 (at least for myself and John E.). Two Harbors is still in a lockdown on the bar, restaurant, and BBQ facilities. John (Dinner Belle II) and I do not think it is worth it to go now. We would have to...
