Hi All, The center opening window on my 1999 22' C-Dory had the starbord side top mounting bracket break off (under weight pressure) on our recent cruise. This has happened before and I was able to repair it with special metal epoxy. I believe it is made of aluminum. The repair lasted 4 years...

OK, we have some pictures posted. I think Rick did his usual excellent job of describing the trip, but I want to add that we find so much enjoyment from the company of other C-Brats on these trips, that we can't wait for the next one. The day's fly by and we forget sometimes what day we're on...

Sorry Fred, We've been thinking of you and missed you on our cruise. I was all set to post pictures on Friday, but the photo album had not been created yet. All my pictures with captions are on my computer at work and since we have a long weekend, I won't get to post them until Tuesday. I have...

Well said Pat and others. I have seen the "new" C-Dorys and would not trade my 1999 model for one of them straight up. We've all seen this happen before in American business...in fact it is a classic Business School model... and regrettably hard to stop. Let's hope they gain some sense before it...

Mike and Bill, Can you please set us up with a photo Album for the Rideau Canal Trip? Dun

Just to add fuel to the fire, I saw this boat (25') at the Newport Boat Show last fall and was VERY impressed. The fit and finish was outstanding. I thought it rather expensive for a 25 foter, but then I guess you get what you pay for. Good hunting! Dun

Maybe this questions has been answered, but is there a dock to tie up for the night at Cedar Point SP and can we spend the night there?

Do you guys think we will need dingys? Rick mentioed anchoring out and I didn't know how far off the docks/walls that might be. Also, i assume we can find provisions along the way fairly easily?

Ask your auto supply store to order the blades that are used on the old Willys Jeep with the folding windshields. They can get the refills or complete blade assenblies that just pop onto the arms.

Hey Rick, We're back from the wedding...everything went well. How's your knee? Have you researched any B & B's along the canal and where we might spend the nights? Inquiring minds want to know...if you catch my drift! We may go up to Cedar Point SP on Monday and do a little cruising around...

I think I've contacted everyone that has expressed interest in this little gathering. We've decided to meet at Dennetts Wharf Restaurant in Castine at noon on Sunday July 15th. Those of you that will be bringing your boats, if it's a nice day we can go sightseeing. If not, we'll just eat and...

Actually, the V8 4Runner weighs only 4500 lbs, which is about 1000 more than the old V6 model. So far I am pleased, but I haven't gone very far yet. I haven't even calculated the mileage. Does it really matter??? I love Toyotas, and the 4Runner was the largest tow vehicle I can maneuver around...

Thanks Jeffrey, send me an Email w/ your cell#. We're about an hour away in Trenton. BTW, I was so sorry to hear about Tucker. I know how hard that can be. I enjoyed your travel log very much and am sorry you discontinued it. I followed you on iBoat track and am amazed at the technology. You'll...

Thanks for the info. Not knowing what the tides will be on the 15th, I think I'll go to Castine. Were is that ramp?

I just bought a new V8 4Runner w/ 7000 lbs towing capacity to tow my 22'C-Dory. I had a 1999 V-6 4Runner which is a great truck but a little short of towing capacity on long trips. I think the 25' C-dory would be a load for either truck. The new 2007 4Runner tows the 22' well, but it's a much...

Hey Timur, Can you give me that address of the ramp in Brooksville. Is it on Smith Cove? If I get a road name I can find it. Can I launch a skiff at less than flood tide? Dun

No George, we're not bringing the C-Dory for a number of reasons. We have a 14' aluminum skiff in Maine which can be launched just about anywhere, and we'll use that to meet up with you guys. Rick and Carol on "Hunky Dory" won't be joining us. Rick needs knee surgery and isn't able to do much...

Sunday the 15th would be better for us as we won't be arriving in Trenton until late on the 13th. That will give us a day to get organized! Is there a launch ramp in Castine or nearby?

Becky and I plan on getting to Maine on July 13th. We will not bring the C-Dory, but will have our little runabout to meet up with anyone planning a gathering. Our summer is crazy with our son's wedding and all the required gatherings, but we'd love to meet up with any C-Brats that get together...

Mike, No I do not have Trim Tabs. I have heard pro and cons about them, and have a C-Brat buddy who has them and they do a great job for him. Unfortunately, they also impede his kicker in the down position, and that has made it difficult for him to operate the kicker without cavitating. He may...
