 |
|
It was a cold and gray Northwest day when I first laid eyes on her. My first thought was "Oh, Yes!" I would like to get to know you better. I did my best to restrain my feelings and decided to see her again at a later date. It was a couple of weeks before I'd see her again. Yah! I was excited but this time she said, "I love you"  and I want to be yours. Just me and take care of me. As I was about to leave I kissed her on the nose and said "OK you can be my MATEY" (By Joe)
(By Ruth) Oh, yes! Another C-Dory. This is number four and a 22 Cruiser built by the Toland family - Marben Marine, Kent, WA, 1993. Looking forward to getting back into boating....and Hey! We did pretty good, only 85 days without a boat.
PS: Do you think I need to keep an eye on this guy named Joe and his love affair with this new to us C-Dory? Oh, yah! Another note. Got her home on Saturday between 2-3 pm. Early the next morning receive a PM from a boater friend inquiring as to "What's that C-Dory doing in your yard"......Doesn't take long for good news to travel fast 
Our thanks to Roger and Beth of the SENSEI for selling us this sweetheart of a C-Dory.
Joe and Ruth

| It is nice to see so many come back to the Cdory 22' crusiers. We have never left, but have looked plenty. I think the 22' crusier is the best of all the Cdorys produced. It does a lot of things really well. |

Ha! I wish I had got in on the pool about how long it would take! The '93's are the best built of the best boat."You done good".

It was such a pleasure to transfer the 93 to an amazing couple that are so well endeared here on the C-Brats. Before the holidays we met with Joe & Ruth for lunch and we were talking about how we were going to pay for my increasing medical bills after insurance paid their share.
we mentioned that we might have to sell the 93 and we left it at that.
a couple of weeks later Joe & Ruth were out for a drive and ended up at our house. we enjoyed some tea/coffee and fruitcake and then Joe asked if he could see the Encounter. we walked out to the barn and they took a quick look at her and they left.
the rest is history.....lol.....
