C-Dory Featured in Upcoming Book

Cool video. I take it it never got on plan with that much fuel on board.
 
I read through much of his blog, and there are mentions of planing at about 9-10 knots. He did have a lot of weight, but not only in the stern, but the V-birth was full of equipment, and the top was loaded with a rack, and carrier. It was down in the water, lower than my boat, by a couple of inches at least.

Back to the top!

I just purchased my copy of Arctic Solitaire at Village Books in Fairhaven yesterday. I am about 50 pages into it, and it is a GREAT read! If you struggled with Least Heat Moon's flatulently pseudo-literary writing style, where frequent resorts to the dictonary were necessary to decode the words that Least Heat Moon probably needed his thesaurus to inflict on readers, as I did, you will really enjoy this book - no dictionary required! And while Least Heat Moon evidently had a humorectomy, you will smile and possibly even chuckle, at some of Paul's turns of phrase!

We were friends with Kirby Unti, from whom Paul purchased C-Sick. Our Fall City neighbor, Garry Anderson, who bypassed C-Dory and went directly to Ranger from his Trophy, introduced us to Kirby. Garry was the police chief of Renton, and Kirby was the PD's chaplain. Not sure whether "C-Sick" was Lutheran humor or not but Kirby is a great guy - have not seen him in a few years now. I called Garry to let him know where Kirby's boat ended up and to recommend this book.

Highly recommended!
 
I put it off as long as I could, but with my buddy Pat recommending it I finally had to spring for it. Me, reading a book. Imagine that. :lol:
 
Sorry for the screwed up formatting in my post!
 
Ordered & I hope it’s worth the $24 for the hard copy. Reviews say Kindle’s version does not have photos.
 
Missed that on KING 5. Thanks, Mike. What a magnificent adventure.
