    Yellowstone lake

    We did a Cruise of Great Western Lakes (we called it the Grand Slam) back in 2008 and all had a fine time. Jay and Jolee (Hunky Dory) and Chris (Rana Verde) will certainly have lots to say about that trip and can perhaps help organize another if folks are interested. We write up info on each...

    WA state parks in san juans

    JAKE - We 'camped' at state parks in the San Juans with the g'kids aboard our CD. They loved it. They slept on the boat, if weather seemed iffy, on the dock if they wanted to look at stars, and ashore in the camps when they were a little older. They hiked all over the islands on great...

    Tropical Storm Arthur

    Heads Up! Off northeast Florida now and is predicted to move northerly up the east coast all week long. Be prudent and stay tucked inside if you are thinking of any boating along that area in the next 5 days or so. Bill F

    "River Horse"

    We paddled a double kayak down the Upper Missouri for 2 ½ months -- marvelous trip. Had a sail for the lakes and camped ashore at night. Then took our c-d down the lower Missouri some years later. A fine cruise. Also came down the Columbia from headwater lakes in BC to the ocean. Another...

    C-Dory arrives in New Zealand

    PME - Welcome to the gang -- sure great to have a Kiwi aboard. The c-dory should be a good fit for you, We had suggested, years ago, to the c-dory owners, that if they shipped a c-dory to NZ we would live on it there, show it off to anyone interested, and if they set up a dealer we'd...

    Anyone ever joined a boat club?

    We belonged to a yacht club for most of our years of boating. The membership came from the entire state -- no clubhouse or facilities -- so virtually no expense -- cost $5.00 a year for membership back then. Had great meetings eating our together at fine buffets on the Vegas strip, and...

    Boat or RV?

    Each couple makes their personal choice. We lived first four years of retirement when in No. America in a 20' RV -- she took us over 30,000 miles all over the continent - Key West to Prudhoe Bay, Newfoundland to Baja CA. Delightful -- traveled with the seasons. Then moved aboard a 20"...

    Any good books?

    Here's a quick sample from our website to introduce you to our introduction to the C-Dory world. For us, it was not a decision about a day trip boat or a weekend fishing boat, but for a boat suitable for extensive cruising. This may not be what you have in mind. But, here's a view of the...

    Just a suggestion: On our website describing many locations for cruising experiences in North America, we have access points listed where we initiated our cruise. This is not a list of all access points to individual cruising sites, but might be helpful for those considering a...

    The Merits of Trailerable Boats On The Great Loop

    Jonathan - Great write-up -- thanks for sharing. A reminder -- one can do the Loop (or portions) many times. "It's the journey, not the destination." We have done it (and portions) many times -- both on our 20' Pacific Seacraft Flicka and on our C-Dory. Life on the...

    A Stroll Down Memory Lane

    Good work, Pat. Ah, the wonderful times we have all shared with some really great folk. Your photos brought back floods of memories. We have sure been fortunate to have discovered the C-Dory and to be a part of the family since the earliest days. So great that we have had good site managers...

    Daylight Savings Mar 8, 2014

    Thanks, Harvey. This site has lots of good advice, and not just about boating. Now, for us retired ones, we can just shuffle off to bed early without feeling guilty and (of course) sleep on in the a.m. if we remember to pull down the shade. We just finished driving a total of 24...
