Dear Pat and Patty, So sorry to hear of your loss. I lost both my folks this spring within 12 days of each other. It hurts, but time heals all. Becky and I send our condolences. Dun

Funny this would come up today. I just got home from buying a 7.5kg Bruce at West Marine tonight, and took advantage of their Holiday pricing, at least in my area. I was using a 5kg Bruce for the last 5 years, but last summer dragged on a 180 degree wind shift, in a crowded anchorage on a dark...

George and Penny, We'll add our kudos as well. Becky and I sat and watched it twice, and dreamt of doing it ourselves someday. GREAT JOB! Dun and Becky

I must say, I find most of these discussions pointless. We should all just get along and try to help each other as much as possible...rich or poor, advantaged or disadvantaged. But... I LOVED Roger (fishtales) post. I have been to too many funerals this year. I'd like to start over! Dun

Fred, Nathaniel Philbrick has an article in the new Dec 06 issue of Cruising World Magazine about his first offshore adventure from Portugal to Madeira. I haven't read his books, but I like the way he writes. Good article. Dun (CTYankee)

Fred, You've got plenty of Money. Do it now! You've been on an Island too long! :| Dun

OK Jeff, will do. We may do a cruise along the Maine coast next year instead of Moosehead, just for variety, so if you're interested, watch for the posts. Dave and Valerie (Widget) may be interested in Moosehead again, so check with them. They are much closer. For me, it's just a question of...

Bill, We had a great time and great weather in August on Moosehead Lake. I launched at Lily Bay State Park, where they have a good ramp, free dockage, and some very nice camping sites. The other two couples launched at the State Ramp right in Greenville, and kept their rigs on the large pier...

Hi Fred, That sounds like a reasonable price to me, and you know you really don't want to do the work yourself. :wink: You've got to do SOMETHING about that trailer. A 400 mile trip @45mph is just insane. And I don't want to follow you again either. Think of how much better you'll feel next...

OK Wayne and any else on the trip. PM me with your address and I'll get one out to you.

I posted a few pictures from our cruise in Photos. If those C-Brats who were with us want more pictures, let me know and I'll send you a CD.

No guys...Nate got it right. He said ~2 gallons per hour, which at an average of 14 miles per hour translates to ~7 miles per gallon. Right in line with projections. Nate, I had MAJOR problems with varnishing on my Yamaha 80, since the boat sat almost unused for 2+years in the Florida sun and...

Thanks for the Travelog Rick. I just got home. Since we got back early from the canal trip, we went to the Newport Boat Show for two days, drooling over all the trawlers and viewing the new C-Ranger 25 with John Cameron from Y-Landing Marine (he gave us free tickets-thanks again John). Yes we...

Thanks El and Bill...great post. I can't wait to take my grandkids out for extended trips when they get old enough. You inspire again! Dun (CTYankee)

Hi Dick, I had this happen to my boat also. When I'm at our camp in Maine, I park my C-Dory on a pile of wood chops (Birch and pine) that I had placed at the head of my driveway just for this purpose. This is the first year I stored the boat for longer than a few days, and after two weeks I saw...

OK guys and gals, last call for information. I still haven't heard from Wayne, Linger, and Ken120. If you are coming, please let me know with your cell phone number and email address so I can get you out some information. I'll do that by Wednesday. Dun (CTYankee)

I'd like to finish compiling a list of cell phone numbers for everyone to have. I have Rick, David, and Fred from last year. If your numbers have changed, let me know. Nate just sent my his number. I need Ken, Linger, Terry and Wayne to send me their number and e-mail address so I can send the...

Rick, In case you didn't know, we will be two for dinner. Dun

Mike or Bill, Three pairs of C-Brats were sighted on Mooshead Lake a few weeks ago. We had great weather, good food, outstanding scenery and even better company. I have a few pictures I'd like to post just to keep a record of our visit. Can you make me an album? Maybe Dave or Rick will post...

That would be wonderful, Wayne, it will be great to meet you. We will all probably arrive at different times during the day so you may not want to hang out all day. Fred likes to arrive early as he will probably be up there already, and I know we and others won't get there till late afternoon...
