Congratulations - you have a fine boat and good water to cruise. Good luck. El and Bill

Another 82-year-old! 36 was a great year. Happy belated birthday! This site and the C-Dorys it represents, is terrific. Best to go El and Bill

Thanks for the generous comments, friends. We miss the delightful days on Halcyon with good friends. El and Bill

Ruth- So sorry, Ruth. We love you. We know Joe will do a great job as your caregiver. Love El and Bill

Now kick back and cruise America's beautiful waterways with any free time you have. Congrats. El and Bill

Yes, they decided to sell Rana Verde -- not an easy choice, since they loved that boat. We shared many fine adventures with Rana Verde and Halcyon. Time moves on and changes occur.

We have posts, on our website, about Columbia and Snake River cruising. Perhaps the post on the Geology would be an interesting read for C-Brats considering such a cruise : http://cruisingamerica-halcyondays.com/colgeo.htm

Hi folks - Check out the Geology and other tales of c-dory times on Lake Yellowstone: www.cruisingamerica.halcyondays-yellowst.htm Have a great time on a beautiful lake! El and Bill

Catman -- Congrats, although we wouldn't know it was Catman on that 'big' boat. Enjoy your cruising. We are on the shore of Lake Champlain now, thinking of the days cruising up the waterway. Bon voyage, buddy! El and Bill

We are 'land cruising' and followed the Erie Canal this morning easterly. Then we headed up along Lake George to Lake Champlain. Now on the upper Connecticut River in Vermont. Haven't seen any C-Dories. Such hot sunny weather here. Temperatures up in the 90's today. We will be in the...

On to the Empire State. Enjoy New York.

check out our website cruisingamerica/halcyon days and click on the theme, fast or slow. We discuss this topic there.

In our many years and miles of living aboard and cruising on a 22' C-Dory, our twin 40hp Hondas were sufficient and efficient for us. We seldom needed to move fast, and enjoyed the efficiency of twin 40's. Often we were cruising with one up and the other purring us along just fine. It was the...

No body free along the upper Maine coast at the beginning of July?

We will be in Eastport, Maine from July 1-8 prior to taking the ferry over to Grand Manan Island for a week of bird and whale watching. We will be in Maine with our car. Any Brat in the neighborhood care to get together for a meal (maybe munch a lobster) and share CD tales? El and Bill

Coals and Cobb? Wow. That rang in the ears of an Aussie lover. "Hear the bells of Cobb and Coe.". Mean anything to any other Brat? Cobb and Co had the delivery service to Outback Communities in Australia -- and there was a very popular song known to every young person in Oz about hearing the...

As you cruise north into Georgia, we suggest a stop at Amelia Island. A short walk to Fantastic Fudge -- the name is not an exaggeration, as I'm sure other C-Brats will attest. Yum -- El and Bill

A minor distinction - Kingsley Plantation is a National Historic Preserve - administered by the National Park Service. Our family is tightly associated with the NPS and the administrative operation is very different between an historic preserve and a park. So is the budget! Of course, the...

As you head north, do you plan to head over to Jacksonville and then south up the St Johns River? It's one of the best river cruises in the US, in our opinion. Lots of wildlife and natural beauty. And a rarity in US - travel SOUTH up a river!😂
