Ahoy OPA, You might be interested to know there is a very clean '98 CD22 for sale at Northwest Outlet in Superior, WI. Ask for Dave Miller. 715 392-9838. Yep, C Brats, we finally made the hard decision to sell the Joni Lynn after 19 years of fun boating and great fellowship with the C Dory...

Ahoy MI. I sent you a PM today. Paul

A big THANK YOU to Ken & Pat (Pelican), and Tex & Sharon (Bixby's Cub) for the planning and orchestrating of another great C-Brat gathering. Also, a big THANK YOU to Terry & Jay for cooking up such great chow for the group. For the short time we were there, we had a wonderful time and it was...

Tex & Sharon, We're listening to the terrible storm damage in Houston/Cypress. Are you two doing OK and are you staying safe? You are in our thoughts and prayers. Paul & Joni on Joni Lynn

Dinghy For Sale: Hi Brats, I have a West Marine RU3 (now called the PRU3) dinghy for sale. I bought it new from WM in 2013 and it has never been in the water. I inflated it once to make sure it was OK and since then it's been stored in our dry basement on a carpet. I paid $699 for it when it...

Attempting to slough off some of the winter doldrums, we took a little car tour downriver and found ourselves eating lunch at the Candlelight Restaurant in the Clinton Marina. We were very impressed. If the service and management for the marina is as good as their restaurant, we will have an...

We are just now learning of Judy's passing last week. Our condolences go out to Rich and the Morrison family. It was a pleasure knowing Judy and enjoying fun times at the C-brat gathering. Judy will be missed. Paul & Joni

Ahoy C-Brats, A big "Thank You" to the crews on Bixby's Cub, Pelican, and Terry & Jay. You folks put together a wonderful weekend with great food, lots of laughs, and fun conversation. It was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Joni and I had a wonderful time on Lake Cumberland...

Hi C- Brats, The crew on the Joni Lynn will bring a batch of either potato or macaroni salad (or maybe both) for one of Terry's great meals. See y'all soon! PT

Hello Crystal Sea, You will find Winona a wonderful place to launch for your river trip. We spent a few days on our boat in Winona early this summer and had a great time. The marina owner/manager is very accommodating and helpful. There are two museums close to the marina (Watkins Product and...

Hi Brats, Bringing stuff for Thursday sand bar event will not work for us. We're not able to get there until Friday....probably mid-day. Depending on when we do arrive, we may drive over to Hannibal to hook up with the group. In any event, we'll see you on Friday and will help provide...

Hello C-Brats, In reading over the activities and schedule, I'm a bit confused......which happens easily lately. Both Friday and Saturday schedules indicate a BBQ in the evening. Is the marina hosting it? Are we putting that together when we're there? The reason I ask: We would like to...

Ahoy Brats ! Count us in. The crew on the Joni Lynn has missed the last two gatherings and we'll not let that happen again. Whether we float down or trailer down has yet to be decided, but in any event we plan on being there to party with all of our C Brat friends. Looking forward to further...

He's lucky he didn't have twins instead of the single, or he'd have twice the work in getting started. But, looking at it the other way, maybe with twins one of them would have started and he'd be finished already. PT

Joyce, We are so very sad to hear of Bruce's passing. Chatting with the two of you at the C-Brat gatherings was always great fun, and he will be missed. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Paul & Joni on the Joni Lynn

Thanks guys, for the input/responses. The Joni Lynn is now quietly sleeping in the back yard covered with snow and ice; however, it's that time of the year when noodling out minor boat projects seems to keep one's spirits a bit higher even though it doesn't necessarily cause Spring to get here...

Ahoy Pacemaker, I'm checking out your boarding ladder and I'm considering doing the same thing. Where did you purchase it, model # etc.? From the looks of the pics, I'm guessing it's telescopic, and when retracted flips over and lays on the deck. Topside, does it fit in brackets and removable...

Ahoy C Brats, Just a note to let you know the crew on the Joni Lynn will not be joining you this year. We have an old, sick dog that is no longer able to travel and requires the kind of care we can't foist on anyone else. My plan was to come alone via truck and have Joni be the caretaker, but...

Ahoy Two Bears Chuck, I sent you an email with our email and phone number. Give us a holler when you get close to Guttenberg, IA. We're right on Lock & Dam # 10. Paul & Joni on the Joni Lynn

Hi Chuck & Penny, I've been away from this machine for a spell and am just now catching up to the C Brat news. We live in Guttenberg, IA, which is right on the Miss. River mid-way between Prarie du Chien, WI and Dubuque, IA. We also have plans on floating down river to attend the gathering in...
