Maybe I can offer a backpacking cooking class at a cbrats gathering after I get my boat. for those concerned about water, food, and cooking in small spaces. If you can carry ten days of food on your back and come back without dysentery and severe weight loss, the menu was a success! 😂...

That sounds like the kind of advice I need! Understated and accurate. Thanks for the interest and recommendation

I came back from a week in the subalpine basins and was looking for a safe tree to relieve myself behind in the yard. 40 days on a boat and I just might keep a 5 gallon bucket behind the shed for such confusing transitions. Happy to hear you figured out the shower though! Love the high...

Thank you! Are you running out Sequim? We looked for a place out there a couple years back. Beautiful place, just too crowded for us and wife couldn’t (read: wouldn’t) hack the rain once you round the PA corner of the peninsula. I could see making a trip out there in Fall if you have a free...

Thank you! I am heading into the backcountry for a hunt this week, but when I get back maybe we can work something out for Fall. We may head out towards the coast before November and maybe I could hire a bit of your time closer to your neck of the woods. Are you fishing c’da or pend oreille...

I’m going to fess up. Dumbest thing i’ve Seen on the water was me. I was under the Alaskan way piers rigging anodes to protect old metal pilings. Because cad welding in the rain isn’t dangerous enough while standing on the gunwale of a 12 foot work boat, I decided I should drill some holes to...

It’s pretty low right now and fishing looks good where people are tossing a fly around evening hatches with this warm weather, but honestly it’s walking distance to the river and I don’t even fish it! I’m pretty much a food only hunter/fisher and stick to the places I can bring home a bit of...

Wish I could swing a 27 :D Thank you anyway!

Maybe this is a long shot but i’m a Total Rookie looking for someone to walk me through their boat. Absolute basic operating and quirks, general maintenance discussion, short hop out on water somewhere. Willing to pay for time and expenses. Past boat experience limited to work skiffs in...

If you are doing a couple weeks and interested in any serious fishing during that time, your best bet is likely a salt water only non resident license with Puget sound crab endorsement. There are also 1-3 day options for the license and endorsement. But if you aren’t looking for the experience...

I hear ya on the weights and hills. I go up and down 1000 feet just to get the mail, so take my tow limits pretty seriously. Would probably swap my ford for a diesel to tow a 25 just for the tongue weight increase, bigger brakes, and added buffer of passengers and gear. Nothing like multiple...

Do you have pictures of this boat in the forum? I’m on the fence vs a 22’ cruiser with my current tow vehicle being a little light (Ford Expedition), but that seems priced to move fast? Thanks!

Thank you for the kind words and support! I hope you are right, but we’ll Check back in 20 years and see how the kids turn out. Plan as we may, it seems like every day we’re winging it! Do any Northwest c brats ever make it over to Lake Chelan? Maybe thats a separate post. We See plenty of...

Good Morning from the Methow corner of Washington state! Just signed up to the forum as I’ve been lurking for awhile now and wanted to say thank you for the fantastic place to learn about c dory boats. The family pot has just about reached the size it needs to be before we can take a leap into...
