Hey Fred, I hope you are all right, old friend, and your "wakeup call" was not too serious. We would love to join you for some of your cruises next year. Boston, Naragansett and a round LI cruise would be great. I did the circumnavigation years ago in a 30' sailboat, and it was amazing. We...

Oh, they just poked fun at our VHF chatter and made us feel like we didn't belong in Maine! You know, typical "from away" comments!

I thought the C-Brats showed admirable restraint by not responding to the juvenile comments of the local "maniacs". The worst thing to do is to legitimize their insults. BTW, can we get a picture album so we can post our pics? I've got a few good ones! Dun

Dear Fred and Pat, We're sorry to hear about Pat's health and C-Trek's sale. we wish we could have spent more time cruising with you nice folks, and invite you to any of our NE gatherings anytime. We'll keep you posted of our get togethers and keep you in our prayers and thoughts. Best luck to...

George wouldn't let us off the boat until we finished BOTH large bottles of wine, so it's lucky we made it back to shore at all. I kept going in circles because I forgot I was rowing backwards! And when you come to Maine this summer, I expect you to bring me a nice new outboard for my dinghy...

Great pictures, George and Penny. Thanks for sharing! We remember those good days fondly! Dun & Becky

Thanks Mark and Bob...that is helpful! If it's only silicone, that makes it easier. I'll let you know how I make out.

I have to remove the front opening window on my 22' Cruiser to re-weld the aluminum mounting brackets. I plan to use a heat gun and a lot of patience. Has anyone ever done this? How hard is it and any cautions? Is the window caulked with 3M 4200 or 5200? I guess it makes a difference. Thanks in...

jennykatz, The wiper blades can be purchased at any good auto parts store...they are the same as used on old Willys Jeeps.You have to replace the whole assembly.

Pat el al: Some of us Northeast C-Brats have done the canal trip in two years. In 2005 we launched at Seneca Lake State Park in Geneva and traveled West to Tonawanda in about 6 days where we pulled the boats, rented a car, drove back to Geneva to retrieve our rigs, and went to get the boats. In...

A few years ago while we were doing the Erie Canal Cruise with a bundh of C-Brats, one of our group had a db meter and asked that we all take readings at various speed. You can read the table below, but the Yamaha twin 40s were the quitest, the Yamaha 80HP was second, the Honda 90hp third and...

Pat and all, You look like a southern version of St Nick behind that snowblower. Did you ever think maybe Terry had an alterior motive having you try out his toys? Like maybe getting his driveway plowed? Well, June is doable for us if you make it up here. If Terry is coming, we will be there...

Pat, I'm sure we can work something out for all or part of your plans. When are you planning on visiting our fair corner of the world? Ken from NJ has expressed some interest in a Hudson River trip in June, and I would like to run up the Hudson to Lake Champlain sometime this year. We might get...

Hi Pat, Happy Thanksgiving to you and all. The New England/New York/NJ contingent has discussed a Mid-coast Maine cruise for late summer. Probably will be late August, starting in Bath or Boothbay, going to Castine or Mt Desert Island and last about a week. Further details will wait till next...

Hi Georgs, Welcome and congratulations. You probably don't remember, but I showed you my CD22 in Connecticut about 3 or 4 years ago when you were still undecided about what boat was to be your next. I knew at that time that you were really a catamaran guy, and a Tomcat was in your future. I...

Tracy, Just tell him Dun wants to know how far it is to the next town! They will tell you the story! Dun

Ask David on Alma's Only how far it is to the next bend (marina, bouy, lock, town etc). I'll bet he says 2.3 miles! Long Story :o Dun (CTYankee)

Tad, if you could also take a picture of what the old and new window looks like, that would be helpful. I can't quite figure out if we are talking about the same attachment point. Dun

Tad, Thanks for the information. I was hoping not to have to buy a whole new window. The old one is perfectly fine except for that broken weld, and I probably can have someone spot weld it back if I can only find the proper bracket. Let me know how your project works out. If you have an extra...

Thanks Don!
