Sorry but this ones been sold, Tim Now that I've done all the upgrades and everything is ready for lots of cruising our lives and the time to get away don't allow it so it seems as though it's time to sell rather than sail. This is a boat that had little use for it's first four years until the...

If you haven't heard of "30 Seconds" before you should check this stuff out. It's promoted by Ed Humes who is a northwest garden guy and he has done so because this stuff is supposed to be safe around house, garden, and animals. It's a mold, alge, moss type remover that I have used for several...

Got the Lynn Marie hooked up to the truck and ready to put in the water today and when I went in the cabin I found hydraulic fluid running down the front bulkhead from the vented fill port. My quess is that since I installed the system in the dead of winter, purged the air, and checked the level...

Got home early today and was thumbing through a new stuff, products, and what have you catalog from West Marine. On page 23 they show a new nylon covered Mini Dinghy good for 2 people/360 lb. It's 6'7" with a 4'5" beam and weighs in at 22 lb. Cost is $199.99 which includes break down oars, foot...

The cable on the Lynn Marie has always been OK but only with lots of upkeep and it's still not a great steering system and not one I'd add an autopilot to so I have a few questions to through out. While the Baystar system is big enough for the boat, will it except an autopilot? If it will can...

Last season I found water in the cabin a couple of times and after thinking it was leaking around the door or through some other normal space I discovered that if I had water up the starboard side there was a small trickle of water coming in around the Wallas thru hull fitting. Guess that heat...

Don't know about the rest of you folks but Roger and Lisabeth didn't just get a great week-end of C-Dorying together for all of us, he also brought down a big box of his fleet famous potatoes, fresh dug from the farm, to spread around the group at the Sunday morning breakfast table. Wow! Judy...

My very, very best to all, Judy and I just finished an outstanding dinner to end the old year and for us it was a traditional meal with portions from both the land and the sea as well as a gift from a new friend to include in our meal. While it was an outstanding dinner it is hard for me to...

Just got my latest edition of Passage Maker magazine. It's all about Trawlers and Ocean Motorboats. C-Dory has a nice half page add on the 25' C-Dory, with the lead caption saying "The Trailerable Trawler". It's a great add for an even greater boat. I'm impressed. Nice job Scott, Jeff and all...

Just got done watching a segment of our evening news which talked of flood waters in the Snoqualmie River in the Falls City area. Thats right in the back yard of our friends Pat, Patty, Austin, and Oscar Anderson. The news folks talked of other rivers up in that area that many of our friends...

This seems like a good thread whenever a member gets out and starts having a little success they're willing to share with fellow Brats or the rest of the world. Today I made my first trip to the beach for razor clams and it wasn't even a very good tide since it was a 0.6 hold up instead of a...

El & Bill arrived at the Warrenton City dock and tied up right smack dab in the middle of 4 other C-Dories and felt right at home. Tomorrow the head off to Lewiston, ID to pick up truck and trailer then head back here. They plan on being around till at least Sunday and then leave for another...

I must have to much idle time this afternoon but my chores are done and I'm just waiting for Judy to get home so I was reading the latest posts. As I sat here I realized that we all seem to use "C" a lot in our boat names, postings, messages, etc. and I would guess it's because we all have such...

We just spent the first week-end aboard the Lynn Marie after a winter project of installing carpet up forward in the bunk area. I've done a bunch of things to the boat that have been fun to do and neat to look at but none has had as much of an effect on the pure pleasure of using the boat that...

For a number of years Cannon Beach had it's own dory fleet that launched off the beach during the summer months in pursuit of the varied salmonoids but after the early 80's decline in fish numbers the group slowly reduced in numbers. That flat bottom brotherhood has been limited to about three...

I've posted pictures of the Barber Chair project I finally finished in the Lynn Marie photo album. I used a piece of 3/4" mahogany to replace the floor under the table, build a side bin to hold a slide rail, and make a new outboard side to the seat box. The seat slides in a rail system built on...

That's very interesting Mike but I'm wondering how you found that Arima thing talking about us C-Dory folks. You bin taking trips to their site instead of going to work or what?

A Place to wish each other a Happy Holidays. Knowing this group it will be a popular thread by years end.

This might make for an interesting thread brought about by a Sale this Friday, 11/28/03, at Englund Marine in Astoria store for sure and maybe at some of their others too. Sale starts at 6AM and ends at 8AM. I called yesterday to confirm time and items. Basicly store wide with a few...
