Potter Water, I'm a bit confused by your Lake Erie plans. Are you going to be on the lake itself? The areas you mention are on the canal. I only ask because if you are on Lake Erie perhaps we can get together and I could show you the attractions in the Western Basin. Regards, Nick "Valkyrie"

Last year we spent a week plus cruising the Ontario waters of Lake Erie and didn't have a problem. We had Customs officers on Valkyrie twice and no one said a word about the obviously visible Porta Potti. Nick "Valkyrie"

Blues Cruiser, That was Nick/Valkyrie in the gray Honda Accord who gave you the once-over and thumbs-up on 95 this afternoon. Didn't know if you noticed the C-Dory1 Ohio license plate or not. Last year we waved as we passed your place by boat and maybe next time we can actually get togther...

Hi Brats! Just an update and a good tip for those heading to the Keys this winter. About twelve C-Dory owners had dinner at Castaways in Marathon Saturday night with lots of good discussion, advice, stories, great seafood and adult beverages! We also finally met Dave and Ginny of Will-C and...

Hey. Fellow Brats! Someone made an-attempt-at-humor quip on another thread about the Tip Jar and I realized that it had a while since I had donated to show the nerds my support and appreciation, so I just dug out the VISA and sent a little monetary token their way. Let's not forget all that...

Interested, No, it is not. It is a way for us to give a token of our thanks for all of the time and trouble that the nerds put into one of the friendliest, most informative and helpful sites on the Internet. It is found right above "Recent Photo Activity" on the left side of the homepage...

Values of what? Being more specific as to buying or selling, model of boat, year, equipment and so on would help a lot. A great place to start would be the lower right corner of the home page where the boats for sale are located. Hope this helps, Nick "Valkyrie"

Dave, We plan on spending most of the day with Bob and Marie, so we are flexible on the time. Also, I visited Andy and Molly on Molly J at Mangrove Marina in Tavernier this evening and they might be joining us. Nick "Valkyrie"

Dave, Sounds good! My wife is flying in on Wed and we might run down to Key West before you head to Marathon. Will send a PM if we do. Looking forward to finally meeting you. Bob, Will see you in the morning! Nick "Valkyrie"

I just got into Key Largo today, boatless, and will around for about 11 days. Looking forward to seeing some fellow C-Brats. Nick "Valkyrie"

Hi Brats, Over the years we have had seemingly interminable discussions here on what inflatable to buy and how to best get it onto the roof without falling overboard or necessitating another hernia operation! I think we now have the answer thanks to my good buddy David on Alma's Only out of...

Mike, Marcia and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. Boomer has his head on my lap as I sit on the couch right now and we treasure our time with him, as we did with Valkyrie and Freyja years ago. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers tonight. Regards, Nick and Marcia "Valkyrie"

After I removed the foam I used a wire brush followed by a stiff bristle brush and them heavy grit sandpaper. After vacuuming the residue I cleaned the area with rubbing alcohol (well vented on a windy day) and then painted it with a glossy, epoxy paint that works great and has a finished look...

Good advice on Allstays. Get the app for your phone or mobile device. I drove across country to AZ twice last year and the app was great. It lists all campgrounds, not just those who pay to be listed in a book or a website. It was very helpful and I stayed in a number of inexpensive, funky...

Great advice, as usual. I once overhead a state trooper talking to an elderly couple who had asked about overnighting in a rest area. His comment, "A rest area is to human predators what a watering hole is to predators in Africa." Enough said. Nick "Valkyrie"

I don't know if they are going to use their standard pattern or if you are having custom canvas made. If you are going the latter route, consider having the canvas go all the way aft to the transom, which makes a HUGE difference in comfort and protection for both rain and sun. The aft curtain...

A year or so ago someone was selling a 22 that they had modified extensively and installed a marina toilet in the v-berth entry area and had a holding tank under the v-berth, if I remember correctly. I believe that they modified boats as a hobby/business. Anyhow, it appeared to be nicely...

Nine minutes! Not bad.

Okay, the retired English teacher in me has a quiz question! Name the book that has a character named Major Major Major Major. Nick "Valkyrie"

Spike, Sounds great! The only cutthroat that I have caught have been in the WY Big Horns and were sub 12". I will definitely give ou a call! Best, Nick "Valkyrie"
