Apparently, 128 feet is not too big. Maybe old news for some of you but after spending the last 2 days in Bellingham, and walking by the new All American Marine facility, I decided to look them up (they make some neat Cats, check them out!). In August they launched the 128 ft. Enhydra at the...

Can someone clarify the procedure for returning from the Gulf Islands into the San Juan Islands for a US Citizen, with a NEXUS card? Do you call the 800-number as soon as you cross the boarder into the US (e.g., in the shipping lanes!)? Or are you supposed to get your boat near one of the...

As mentioned in the Powell River thread, I'm unable to join for the CBGT but will instead be crossing the border on July 1 for a trip North to Desolation Sound. Does anyone know of a safe bet for available anchorage AWAY from the crowds and fireworks on Saturday July 1? I'm planning on...

Surely this has come up before but I can't find anything in the archives... Is anyone simultaneously running two VHFs on their boats? If so, how far apart are your antennas? (I've read they should be at least 10' apart but that's not very practical on a 22' C-dory). Reason I'm asking, I have...

I know a bunch of the C-brats keep their boats in drystack, either Twin Bridges, Bayside, or others. In October I'll be moving my boat into Twin Bridges and have a couple of questions regarding best practices for storage, for those of you who keep your boats in fully-enclosed drystack...

Just finished uploading about 60 photos from Bellingham, including a bunch from Sunday morning's windstorm that I had to share here. The crews of Ari, El Gato Thomas and Sweet Pea braving the winds and 4' whitecaps on Sunday morning. Bellingham Bay is no match for a C-Dory! The crew in...

It's official, after spending the last three years cruising on Lil' C, a 16' Angler, I finally took delivery of Big C, a 22' cruiser, on Friday morning! Thought I'd share my adventure-packed weekend for anyone interested. After finalizing all the papers at the dealer Friday morning, I towed...

Planning a day trip to Eastsound Orcas Island to meet up with some friends. I see there is a public dock, Eastsound Public Dock, which might be a good option to tie up for a few hours. But if the dock is full, as I suspect it will be on a summer weekend, Plan B would be to anchor out in Fish...

Brand new 2013 EZ Loader trailer, has been sitting in my garage since purchased new just over a year ago. First two trips with the trailer were launching from the sling at Edmonds in August. Third trip was last weekend, launching the trailer at a ramp into the water for its first time ever. It...

After picking up our repowered Angler from Les yesterday, the break-in process began today with a 70 mile cruise through the San Juans. Launched in Fairhaven just before 1000 in light fog, which only got thicker as I continued up through Hale Pass, hoping to get to Sucia. So after passing Pt...

I was looking through some old photos (real photos, back when we had to actually develop film), and came across a couple of photos of a sharp looking 16' Angler that I took while visiting Friday Harbor 16 years ago. There was something familiar about the boat in these photos, and upon closer...

Well it's been over a year since we bought our 1990 Angler, and finally today we took it out for the first time (I'll save the details of the core/ floor replacement for another day). We launched at Edmonds, zipped across the sound to Kingston to walk around town for an hour, then took our...

Looking to repower our 16' Angler this year with a 4-stroke, to replace the original Johnson 40 & 8 hp 2-strokes. Really like the Yamaha 40 or 50, but from previous experiences with other boats, I'm not sure I'd trust either of the nearest Yamaha dealers (3Rivers or Bayside) to do a proper...

Hi, new member here in the market for a used C-Dory 16 and open to either version but curious if anyone has owned both models and has a preference, or if anyone has regrets and wishes they got the Angler instead of Cruiser, or vise-versa? My intended use will be primarily day cruising, with...
