When you can't get the boat out you can watch the NC shore with these two web cams. The first one looks from the Duke Marine lab toward the Beaufort water front. http://www.nicholas.duke.edu/marinelab/ ... ies/webcam The second one looks at Silver Lake Harbor on Ocracoke Island. I saw what...

After a year of being lanlocked, I made it to Beaufort NC this past week. I rented a place that had a dock on Taylors Creek. I saw what looked like a CD 22 beached enjoying the day at the Taylor Creek Inter coastal Re/Green marker on Carrot Island. I was going to pull in but I was very limited...

My neighbor has a 2000 F350 super duty w/ 7.3L turbo diesel. It only has 79,000 miles and has all service records. I was thinking about selling my 2010 F-150 4.6L gas engine 4WD Super Crew cab, and buying his F350. I could sell my truck and buy his, and put 10K in my savings account. His truck...

My dog Teddy has been down in the dumps lately. Can't get my self to force her to go boating. Her Back legs are bad enough now I have to lift her to get her to go out side down the ramp I made on the front steps. This too will pass in time. In the mean time while the C-Dory 22 sits under cover...

After my experience with my Florida trip I was wondering what you do with your trucks and trailers while you are cruising for a week or to once you travel to a distant location?

After all these months I finally got my courage and headed to my trailer on 2 acres in central west coast Florida. It took a week to pack every thing up. I checked the Resilient and trailer out real good and headed out 5:30 Am on the 13th. My plan was to go to my place and put the C-Dory in the...

HI, I am starting to plan my major mission. Hope To haul my C-Dory down to Crystal River Fla from NC at the end of Nov. I have a little trailer on 2 acres that I haven't been to in 4 yrs. My wife was sick and I was never able to make it down there. She passed away and I realize now that there...

I was here last week and the ocean was as calm as a pond. Here are 2 URL's for web cams from the Duke Marine lab in Beaufort. Can watch the progression of Sandy. Current winds are 29 MPH from the NNE. Expected to rise to 40 MPH and Gust to 50. http://www.nicholas.duke.edu/marinelab/ ...

I saw a weather window made in heaven and headed to Beaufort NC on the Resilient for 5 days. Fish were biting, Ocean was flat, weather was warm. My old dog Teddy was so great on the trip. She weighs 80lbs so my back is killing me after lifting her up and down off and on the boat 4 times a day...

I am tired of looking at my cd22 in the driveway. I want to go where the weather is warm and fish and cruise. My wife has passed away but I have a 13 yr old dog and a cat that I rescued from the shelter to keep Teddy company while I was at work. I quit my job after 34 yrs, am almost 62 yrs old...

After the last trip to the beach I decided to find a way to deterine if my anchor was set and not dragging. WE had a NW wind gusting to 25 MPH and the Resilient waged her tail 90* all night long. It took about 2 minutes for the boat to go from 0* to 90* off anchor. I was worried that the anchor...

I made some more room in the cockpit by eliminating the kicker portable tank. I plumbed the fuel line in the extra outlet on the Racor fuel separator. May be old news but I thought I would share. Here is a link to what the top of the Racor image looks like...

C-Dory arrived on Weds. My friend and I have been working in miserable heat, humidity, and (rare for this area) hungry Mosquitoes. Here is what we have done so far: Installed a 2.4 CU FT Kenmore refrigerator under the starboard cabinet. 8,000 BTU Kenmore A/C that cycles just fine with the...

I met my wife in Deerfield Beech beach Fla in 1982. Her and her father alone had just finished a project of a lifetime. The two of them had completed a miracle. Her father built the where house, then over a four year peroid, Just the two of them built a 63' cabin cruiser. It was a project most...

Woohoo My CD22 is on the road as we speak! Should arrive Wednesday morning. Already looking through my old charts. What is a safe water depth while on the 9.8 Kicker motor slowly picking my way though shallow channels. My old boat had a 5' keel and I missed out on all the fun spots. The...

It rained last night. Strong thunderstorms that were bands from Hurricane Erin. I was knocked my out of my bunk in the middle of the night when the wind shifted and spun the Simplistic 180 degrees on the anchor rode. I owned the 32' whale deck sailboat for the last 7 years. She was built in...

Well it's been a long wait but my 2005 CD 22 cruiser is do to arrive by next week. Thanks to all the great write ups on the c-brat site I have ordered a few things a head of time. I used to spend a week or more on my sailboat so I know what equipment it takes to get by for a time. I ordered...

If God Blesses me my 2005 C-22 will be here within 2 weeks. My Wife ( deceased) told me that you should never change the name on a ship Her father was a sea captain and a solo builder of a 66' customer motor yacht. When I purchased my 32' sailboat named " Simplistic" I really did not care for...

Hi Mates, Getting excited now. Hopefully will have my C22 in a few weeks. Going to add a kicker motor. When they refer to a long shaft, is that the 20" or 25" shaft length? Thanks
