We've all been there, searching for the right C-dory to fit our wants and needs. Searching near and far and using various search mechanisms. I always considered the hunt part of the package, when you go hunting you don't always bag what you went after but had fun doing it. Something that has...

Thanks Gary, good info for planning a transit thru the rapids. So basically, add a 1/2 hour to the tide chart at Pt Atkinson to get the slack current at Malibu. It appears that the chart is in Pacific Standard Time and I suspect that we will be on Day Light Savings Time by them so spring ahead...

I've been following the conversation on the after cruise (cruises) that folks have mentioned, Chatterbox Falls, Inside Passage going north and am interested in making some sort of trip. Gary, you posted info on the tide chart at Malibu rapids. Just wondering if there is a current chart for the...

Salmon Fisher, you mentioned launching at Coronet Bay, I was wondering if you had to have a special state parks pass to use this facility. I've stayed there several times by boat using my state parks boating pass but I'm uncertain in you have to have a Discover Pass to use the facility if...

We had a pretty good blow up on Vancouver Island over the Christmas holiday. A few ferry runs were cancelled from Nanaimo to Vancouver but we managed to get on a later boat when they started running again. Made for a long day coming home to Port Orchard. I don't believe I would have been...

Bob I can relate to how this may have happened on I-10. I towed a 21' Atlas Pompano from Ram Rod Key Florida to Washington state. I had arranged to Tom at Atlas Boat Works to purchase a tandem axle trailer and have fitted to accept the 21' and he arranged that for me. We loaded the empty (no...

Welcome to the C-Brats, It's a good idea to plan ahead and book ahead to land a place near to the marina. Here is a web address you can copy and put into your browser https://www.airbnb.com/friday-harbor-wa/stays I saw a couple condo's located right down town Friday harbor close to the...

I've not seen it done on any boats but many 5th wheels and travel trailers have steps that fold up and out of the way. It may take a little engineering to adapt something like that for a boat but I'm guessing it could be possible. Good luck with that.

DayBreak, Our two states have different taxation schedules. Your state of Oregon has a state income tax which seems to cover all the expenses of your states budget, whereas Washington state does not have a state income tax, we have sales tax which depending on the county you live in varies by a...

As the adage goes, Fish or Cut Bait, Well Donald, it sounds like its time to quite cutting bait and start fishing. To help with some of your questions... Go to your credit union or bank and get pre-approved for a loan for whatever you intend to buy. Be aware that you'll need probably 20% of...

Colby, yes i was talking about vehicle insurance while in Mexico. But you bring up some important points for those of us who rely on Medicare insurance for most of our medical needs. I am fortunate to have Medicare as well as GEHA insurance. It is my understanding that my GEHA plan covers...

JamesTXSD, This is also helpful info. I will be checking with friends in Apache Junction to see where they get their insurance as they travel down to Rocky Point a couple times a year. I've been going to Arizona for years in the winter but have never felt the need to take my truck across the...

Thank you both for the info. Good starting point to get organized. I think I'll take a trip down to Rocky Point in the truck this winter as a trial run.

This question is directed toward those folks that have traveled to Mexico with their C-Dorys. Is it necessary to have additional insurance to travel south of the border for your truck trailer and boat? I know I'll have to check with my insurance agent but just curious how others who have...

I like your dingy. In order to make your dingy a stable platform to exit from, it will need to be secured to the side of the boat where you could then step on the outside of the dingy seat to use as a step to exit over the gunnel of the C-dory. I would consider installing a stainless ring low...

Colby there are a few lakes that come to mind when you mentioned Arizona. Up north there is Lake Powell and there are several marinas Around the Page, AZ , then there is Lake Havasu to the west on the Colorado river, and Parker, AZ has RV parks with boat ramps on the river. More toward...

Rob, interesting outlook on how the Biggs whales could help the salmon population. My primary fishing grounds were the Claybanks near point Defiance. The seals got so thick and bold down there that they would sit out there watching moochers fish for salmon. As soon as you got a hook up the...

Well MartyP there is still hope. Years ago, before the R21 got all the fancy stuff added to it, like the extended cab and mast and the little Yanmar was under a box in the middle of the cockpit we owned one. My brother tired to talk us into a 22 C-dory at the time but we weren't feeling it...

Looks to be that you did well to check that anode at this time. That is a lot of corrosion after just 5 or 6 months in the water. This is a wake up call for me to check my anode in the RV. Thanks for posting this. How did the tank look this time?
