Previously, I posted some online travel articles and photos that included travel on C-Dories. I'd posted links to them on here, and several of you have read them. But the site I'd written for closed to that type of writing, went to entertainment only--about concerts, rock stars, etc., shutting...

I've posted a new article on Examiner.com with some info and lots of photos of C-Dorys at the Friday Harbor gathering in May, 2013, when Lyle and I were last there. The title is "Cruising to Friday Harbor: a mini-cruise in the Pacific." The link to the article is http://exm.nr/1TmG3iY. If you...

How many of you C-Brats have boated the mouth of the Mississippi? I've posted my new article on Examiner.com, with a slide show. The article is directed not just at C-Brats but at anyone with a hankering to see the mouth of the big river, with instructions on how to do it, including by C-Dory...

If you've done the Erie Canal by C-Dory, you'll identify with this trip. If you haven't done it, this will make you want to and probably answer some of your questions, maybe alleviate some concerns. It's an easy trip, although getting to New York State may be quite a trek for those on the West...

I’ve posted a new article on Examiner.com, this one a travel article entitled “Lake Powell: an oasis in the desert, in Arizona and Utah.” Of course, it includes many photos of that beautiful place, with 5 of them showing C-Dories, from the gatherings we attended in September, 2009, and...

For those of you who spend a lot of time on your C-Dories, including meal times, but who don't care to cook, I've posted a recent article on Examiner.com called "No-Cook Camping." Whether you camp on land or on your boat, you'll be glad to know there are alternatives to regular cooking. Here's...

I've posted another outdoor-recreation article on Examiner.com that includes a couple of photos of our 16' cruiser, See-Saw. This article is titled "Camping with Rocks." Most of the article is about "land-based" camping, but obviously Lake Powell has BEAUTIFUL rocks, so I mentioned it and posted...

I have just published an article titled "Camping on Water" on Examiner.com, an online news source. Obviously, in most cases, that would involve sleeping on boats, as MANY C-Brats do, but there are a couple of other ways to do it, so check out the article to see the possibilities. I've...

How many of us bought our C-Dories because we read Heat-Moon's excellent travel book "River Horse"? Lyle and I did! Today is Heat-Moon's 74th birthday. We celebrate that because his writing opened up for us this fabulous way to explore and enjoy our world. If you haven't read the book, you just...

I've included pictures of "See-Saw," our 16' C-Dory, in the latest article I've published on Examiner.com, about Lake Meredith in the Texas Panhandle where we live. (Click on or paste this link to see the article: http://exm.nr/14deUGv .) This is a "list article," and on page 1 of the list...

We have met many of y'all around the country at different gatherings over the past several years, and many of you know that Janda has been working on writing travel articles. Several of you have asked us to post on this site when her articles become available. She is now writing online for...

We are having trouble trying to post photos to the C-Brats albums from our iPad. First, we tried posting to the album for the upcoming Mississippi River Gathering, but there is no "add photos" button, and when we click on "photo action," then try to click on "add photos," it doesn't select...

See-Saw is out for the next 4 months in the east. First objective was to see the Smoky Mts by water. On the way there we stopped and floated the Arkansas R. at Ozark, Ark, then the Cumberland R, at Cordell-Hull Lake, then the Clinch river in TN. We spent 3 nights on Fontana Lake, doing the...

We, Lyle and Janda of See-Saw, are thinking of getting a dog, after many years without one, and we'll, of course, need to take it on outings and great adventures on our 16-ft C-Dory. We'd like to hear from those of you who boat with dogs--what kinds of dogs do you recommend, what do you NOT...

We have a 16 ft cruiser and are wanting a cover for the cockpit. Anyone have a used one they want to upgrade and want to sell their old one? Where does one go to get even a new one? Got a website for this? And are there some better than others? Can you buy the top without the curtains and add on...

Hi, you all, This is Lyle & Janda Raker, the folks from Texas, who were bothering you all about finding and learning all about C Dories, especially 16 ft cruisers. We really enjoyed getting to meet so many of you in Bellingham and getting to see your boats. We did buy the See-Saw in Santa Fe...
