The biggest difference between long distance or loop cruising on a C- dory compared to most other cruising boats is that it is trailerable. My wife and I have been living aboard and full time cruising on our 25 for 5 years and have completed most of the loop and lots of inland lakes and rivers...

What pitch prop are you using? We live aboard our 25 and are heavily loaded. With 3 batteries, generator, kicker, full water and fuel, we still can run about 25 mph at 5400 rpm. That's with a Suzuki 140 and 15 pitch prop. We normally cruise at 2000 rpm or less ( 5-6 mph), but it is a good...

Wow! What a great invitation. We were one of the boats that trailer camped in Hank and Pat's yard last Summer, before cruising the area. You couldn't find better host. Meeting new friends like them has been a large part of our C-dory cruising experience. Bill and Becky Smith Blue Days

The St. John's has been at near historic lows this year. We had some much needed rain recently and it has come up about a foot. We took the trip up the Norris Dead river through lake Woodruff and back to the St. John's through Lake Dexter before the rain and had no problems. There are two...

Becky and I will be arriving in mid January for our volunteer job. We look forward to welcoming everyone as you arrive. Bill

I'm pretty sure it is March 7th thru the 9th. That's a Tuesday thru Thursday. It has gotten so large we wanted to leave room in the marina for the weekend visitors. Bill Smith Blue Days

Thanks for all the positive comments. Sunbeam, we have talked about doing a blog but don't want to commit the time. We do post pictures with captions regularly on Facebook and Instagram. They can be seen on Facebook at Becky Ogilvie Smith or Instagram at BBSMITH4. Colby, we enjoyed getting...

Today marks our 3rd year of living full time on our 25 foot cruiser Blue Days. It has been a grand adventure, and we have been to some beautiful places. We head north each Spring and return south in the Fall. Some of the places that we have enjoyed are the coast, rivers and lakes of Maine...

We launched in Cape Vincent N.Y. It's a nice town with a free dock and a public ramp within walking distance. A ferry crosses from there into Canada. You can clear customs at the Wolf Island ferry dock. We got permission to leave our rig from the city. We saw several covered boat storage...

Colby, My wife and I have been at Hontoon since mid January doing volunteer work. I fish every chance I get. The fishing is good and improving.. I have been catching black crappie and the regulars that fish here are catching catfish and bream. The water is warming and the largemouth bass...

Hi Colby We are at Hontoon now. My wife and I are volunteers. We are getting enough reception on Verizon to check this website. without any kind of cell booster. If you want to bring bikes there are miles of dirt roads that you can explore. We look forward to seeing everyone in March. Bill and...

We will be arriving mid January to marina host again. We look forward to seeing everyone. Bill and Becky

For me a kayak makes the perfect fishing boat. We have two that live on top of our boat all the time. They are light, don't require a motor, and can take you lots of places that get little fishing pressure. You could carry them on top of your truck camper and not need to pull the extra trailer.

I boat camp regularly. My wife and I have been living aboard our 25 for two years now. We generally stay on the water for a week or so and then stay at campgrounds for a few days to resupply and decide where to launch next. We generally camp in state parks or national forest campgrounds. We keep...

We are also heading north on the I.C.W. this Spring. We are doing sections spending about a week at a time or so on the boat. We take out to refuel, resupply and usually trailer camp a day or two. We have already done from St. Simons island to the South Carolina line. We are going up the...

Thanks everyone for all your suggestions. We arrived Tuesday and launched at Laishley Municipal marina public ramp. It's a very nice marina with lots of good reviews on active captain. We are storing our rig at Ann's Street storage about a mile from the marina. A cold front arrived just after we...
