|
|
This morning we met up with Brock (aka Catman) at Twin Bridges. Al and Karen (previous owners of 3 C-dory's and 1 Venture) were there, too. Brock was preparing to take his first journey in his 2017 23 Venture.
A beautiful boat and very well built. Ah, that smell of new fiberglass is awesome!
We're so pleased to have been a part of Brock's new adventure and share the moment with Al and Karen.
Safe travels, Brock. Thanks for sharing your happiness with us.
Ruth and Joe, C-Brats #22

Ruth and Joe, I must have just missed you. I arrived at Twin Bridges just in time to witness the new boat's first splash ever! Brock was very excited as he very well should be. The boat is beautiful and she will have plenty of power with the brand new Honda 150 hung on the transom. I felt very lucky to have witnessed the beginning of the maiden voyage of one of our most popular Brats. Congratulations Brock and here's wishing you fair winds and calm seas!
Peter

Nice boat.
Is it just me or does the side window configuration (one long window) vs the 22 setup (two windows) make the 23 look smaller than it actually is?
At first glance at the second picture (with the dinghy) the boat looks much more like a 16, not a V23. |

Beautiful Blue Boat Brock. Congratulations and all the best wishes for new and continued aquatic adventures. Keep on Keeping on, stay safe, and enjoy.
It is always a pleasure to see you and I'm looking forward to more serendipitous sightings along the way.

Catman --
Congrats, although we wouldn't know it was Catman on that 'big' boat. Enjoy your cruising. We are on the shore of Lake Champlain now, thinking of the days cruising up the waterway.
Bon voyage, buddy! El and Bill _________________ El and Bill (former live-aboards)

Now Brock COULD go fast if he wanted to, but my money is down on his going the same old usual Catman very comfortable cruising speed! What he has now is a bit more room and better sleeping arrangement (you had to have seen how he slept on Bambina to understand this!). _________________
