Haha yes only the fairest of days on the sound for Fishdreamer!
Au Kai a beauty! |
Had many a good time on Whalers in my youth/early 20s. A friend had a beautiful 13' with a new 25 horse. Even caught some small tuna (aku) off of Diamond Head in that little boat! But the water was in the 80s...not the 50s...  |
Yes, I originally brought my father's Whaler-like center-helm crabbing boat from the Chesapeake here. Great boat for the Chesapeake's warm, shallow water, fishing, and particularly for running a crab line. We use pots here, but more deck space for stacking them was still a plus. The most telling story was diving for scallops with it and being colder in the boat than in the water. Having a heated cabin rather than a larger open area seems a no-brainer now. I am very happy with the compromises the C-Dory 22 offers. I took the crabbing boat "home" to the other Bay. I think it is happier there. |
Yes boys indeed the CD not a hard sell!
