I thank you!! Dusty

OH MY. Which site, Tom? Dusty

Great! Thanks Charlie. Those danged jarheads will do anything to get their names in the paper, huh? :wink: :wink: Anything over 20 thousand and the old hosenose was out of breath. Loved the Corsair, but like all of them in those days it had lots of limitations. Sure have a lot of carrier...

The overlay feature is great. Agree withh Tom -- I'd sure miss it if it went away. Dusty

Tulalip be good! Dusty

Rich, Different on the best coast --Hondas with over 7 or 8000 hours not uncommon. BUT, the high hour motors are usually commercial (charter/fishing) operations where they are run often and get good maintenance. Brands don't make much difference IMO. I have Honda on one boat and Yamaha on the...

You betcha. Just as soon as we get done I'll post and give you a heads up. Dusty

The 22 Classic is for real. Our classic spent much of its youth fishing 50-75 miles off the Oregon coast. And Joe is right -- they have pretty basic interiors. As soon as the "new" interior is finished, ours will be visiting the CB gatherings. A great fishing boat! Dusty

Happy birthday, Patti -- :cake :love Dusty

My goodness! How time flies. Hard to believe that Brock (Bambina) is that old. :wink: :wink: I like Langley and plan on making it this year - if (IF) we get the 22 classic back together in time. Dusty

Sad. I've fished that area quite a bit --4 years -- and anchoring over a reef is a normal, routine thing. All indications from the media -- these guys knew the area and were regular fishermen. Remaining on anchor with seas (reported) up to 7 feet is not wise in any small boat -- and an open-bow...

Lunch and a brew or two would be great. Just don't tell my friends I ate with a Marine!! :smile :smile No problem on the embarrassment -- just a tender spot. Don't like to be singled out because I was just another one of a whole generation. Years ago bought a house in Orange Park (corner of...

Bryant, You embarrass me. :oops: I’m just another old guy who loves his C-Dory. Bottom line, I’m one of a whole bunch of guys/gals who did their jobs as best they could and don’t live in the past. I know that I’m fortunate to be here and that luck beats skill anytime!! Fish, crab, shrimp...

Harvey, Understand your reasons -- we've BTDT soo many times, and getting there is at least 1/2 the fun. Port Renfrew, north of Sooke, is one of my favorite locations for fishing. Easy run to Swiftsure, but there are also some close sandy areas where big flatties hang out. It has been too long...

They could be talking about several places -- probably the most popular one with a decent road -- Quatsino Sound. It is getting too danged popular, but I hear it is still a great place. There is a Quatsino Resort, and you used to be able to rent a cottage and have the boat alongside the cottage...

Not for all, but my favorite way going to Bamfield and north is by water. Cornet Bay to Oak Bay to clear customs; then on to Sooke for dinner and overnight. Leave very early (first light) the next morning and take off to Bamfield. We have made that run many times -- rarely a weather problem if...

No disharmony here! All fun and games -- talk, talk, talk. I've been with Marines (capital M) since 1937, and proud of the fact. It's those undersea guys you have to look out for. :wink: And the Air Force has the same thing going. For the 6 years that I was a command pilot (B-47/B-52) with...

Happy to share Friday the thirteenth with all! Bryant -- I'm in Oak Harbor too -- perhaps a lunch or cool one to talk over Nam etc.? Or C-Dory etc.? or... open agenda. And thank you for your service, and your wife's service, and your son's service. Proud to have you in the C-Brat clan. And...

I've read and re-read Don's email. Absolutely nothing offensive IMO to the Marine Corps. And he wouldn't do that. Don't have a clue as to what jerked your chain, but I suspect you are reading something into his post that just isn't there. True, I'm not a Marine -- but with a WWII and Nam...

Happy Birthday, Roger, and thanks for the phone message. Just got home after a birthday celebration :beer :beer :beer :cake -- and toasts all around to the C Dory gang. Just 11 years until 100 -- with time off while in the C Dory pulling shrimp, crab and salmon. Halibut will just have to...
