I first saw a C-Dory back in the mid 80's at the dock in Everett, they had 3 or 4 16' boats for rent. I remember thinking that I would like to have a boat like that someday.

Fast foreward to 2001, Central Coast California--- Pat and I went looking for a boat and wound up trading my class C motorhome for a class A--- oops- oh well, my buddy has a new 25' Parker.

Later that year we decided that we needed our own boat- 19' to 23' hhmmm maybe an Arima. We went to the dealer in Ventura to look at the Arimas, but Pat wanted a fully enclosed cabin. Well- ok, I'll have them put the alaska back on it.---------------- then she saw a boat in the service yard and said "Thats it!! Thats the boat for us"
I asked the dealer about it and he said-- Oh, thats a C-Dory, we don't sell those. It's just in for service."
A light came on and I remembered the ones I saw in Everett.
I asked if I could look and he said "sure, let me get the keys." That was the first time I was on a 22' CD---- thanks Peter, it was your boat.
We found the C-Dog group and made contact with Mike (Sealife). He gave us a ride from Channel Islands Harbor to Ventura Harbor, where we bought him coffee.

The rest is history-------
