I'm sorry to see you are selling out, John, but as El & Bill said when they sold Halcyon, it will happen to us all some day.
Kindest regards and I hope you are doing well.

John-
Sorry to see you're having to give up the Far West II, but when it's time, it's time, as we all know, and I'm sure there's more adventure left in your years.
I'm sure that the boat won't last long on the market, as it's truly very well equipped, throughly taken care of, and very attractively priced.
Good luck with the sale.

I fished on the lake last summer on the Shoshone ,and saw the c dory boats at the dock there. I was very envious of your lake there. One of the most beautiful places I ever wet a line, good luck. _________________ What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

I've seen John's boat and talked to him while on it. Sorry for his health issues, but someone who wants a great utility C-dory won't go wrong on the price he's asking. _________________ You can tell a man his wife is ugly, but never ever criticize his dog, his gun, his truck or his boat.

The Far West II has found a new home in San Juan Island. A former sailor has converted to power and will be seen cruising all around that area. My C-Dory experience began in 1996 and has been very rewarding, including many friends. But all stories including the good ones have to come to an end sometime, and this is one of those. Best wishes to all of you in C-Brat land.
