Bill & El,
Interesting to hear you guys are "transitioning" to another life adventure after the decade of experiences aboard your beloved "Halcyon"! Your writings have spawned the dreams that many of us have valued as a "course" to follow! It will be a great loss to us all not having your generously shared "ships log" postings to read on the website. Hopefully you will continue to share some of the "future adventures" mentioned in your foregoing post? And should you venture down to New Zealand, we maintain an "open door" for you and other "C-Brats" who may find their way traveling in this direction. Stay in touch.....

Dear Bill & El,

"Life" is about Change and Transition.

Some we can control; many we cannot.

But the Challenge is to keep moving toward the New Horizon,

With a Smile on our face, and a Song in our hearts.

Be Well.

See you shortly.

Best,
Casey

Interesting post from Bill and El. I was hoping to cruise a bit with them this summer. If Halcyon sells quickly we may need to bring them on Kerri On! That could work. Open invitation El and Bill. You have a ride! George

Sure enjoyed your presence at our Midwest C-Dory gatherings. Hopefully, you can still participate as your stories, expertise and gentle souls are needed. Lots of nice, "on shore" motels in Dubuque, IA in September. Stay well, stay blessed, Doug England

Sorry to see you two are leaving the C-Dory fold but it sounds like you have interesting and fun plans in the future. Your adventures have inspired many and shown that you really can take these small boats all over the place. Good luck with your future adventures and please keep sharing them!

Bill and El,

Thank you for dropping by a few years ago on your return from a Great Lakes adventure and visiting with us at the First National Mississippi River C-Brat Gathering, held that year in Guttenberg, Iowa.

I think that I can speak for all the Mississippi River C-Brats, we wish you well and thank you for the memories.

Best regards,

Ron, Connie, Bear & Dolly Fisher and all the Mississippi River C-Brats

Bill and El
I spent many hours pouring over your website and reading about the places you have been. I sure am glad that I got to meet you and spend some time cruising with you. The two of you are truly amazing people. I will cherish the memories the rest of my life. I certainly hope are paths cross in the future and please keep us up to date on your travels. So we can keep the dream alive.
Always Your friend,
Jody Kidd

Hi EL and Bill,

A change for sure. Glad to hear it was your choice and not the advice of some doctor or surgon. I hope you will still post of your adventures and travels.

Pat and I are waiting for her name to come to the top of the kidney transplant list. She is in good health and should have a good outcome. She has not had dialysis and the goal is to transplant before it is needed.

Good bless you

Fred and Pat

Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments -- being a part of the C-Dory world has been a favorite time in our lives, and even though we are selling Halcyon, we hope to continue our friendship with so many fine folks. Thanks to all.

You had a lot of good times on the water. I'm frustrated that job and life prevent me from using my CD as I thought I could when I bought it. My wife hates the ocean. I envy the good times you enjoyed on your boat.

Be well,
Keith
