New owner, longtime lurker

... And I've been slacking on this post, as I've already asked for (and received) help understanding my electrical system Smile

.

But I've been lurking for years, and have recently purchased the 2006 22 cruiser "Notayot" thanks to contacts made on this site, so I just wanted to say thanks, for... being the C Brats, I guess. Bunch of enablers! But also very generous about sharing knowledge and enthusiasm, and I know I'm not the only lurker / dreamer who's grateful for that.

Notayot actually seems to be THE boat I've been dreaming about for several years... a hightop 22 cruiser with the camper back, Wallas stove, front facing passenger seat, radar, dinghy/kayak rack, a Tohatsu 9.9 kicker, and CLEAN... I keep waiting to find something wrong , but so far no buyer's remorse here! So for everyone who's been looking for a while (which I fully expected to have to do too, and I feel silly lucky here) there's hope! I only hope to care for this boat as conscientiously as her previous owners.

One of her shakedown cruises, Port Orchard to Poulsbo (which would have been an overnight trip on the sailboat, but is now a lunch outing) :

Thanks again, everyone.

That's really cool, Joe. I'm really happy for you, and I look forward to seeing you and your boat here and there in the Salish Sea. That's a really good feeling you're feeling.

My first C-Dory was a red 22, nice boat!

Congratulations! That sure is a clean looking boat. Looking forward to seeing a few more pictures once your album gets created.

Joe, Congrats on a really nice and shiny, and bright New2U C-Dory. Beautiful. Enjoy and stick around on the site (so many don't and miss out on much of the advantage of owning a C-Dory.) Like Catman said, hope to see you around on the Salish, and especially, at the Friday Harbor CBGT (C-Brat Get Together) at Friday Harbor, San Juan Island. Check this site:

Come and enjoy.

Beautiful boat!
I have a green 06 that I got last year. Had to have remorse about buying a cdory. Great capable boats and she’ll open lots of doors.

Glad you like her. We (Dennis and Georgia) were her first owners in 2005/6. She was made to our specifications and purchased from Les Lampman through EQ marine. We had 12 years of fun and travel on her. Glad she is still looking good!
