Dear Dun:
As I recall, earlier you were offering photos of last year's cruise. Would you please add those to the CD of this year's cruise, for us?
Many thanks! Wayne |

Dear Fellow C-Brats:
While y'all were cruising, I was "messing around" on my C-Dory (in the evenings). Yesterday I added photos to our subalbums of my recent projects, as follows....
My wife liked David's enlarged step and urged me to do likewise. My approach is a bit different, but the result is a greatly extended step which is quite easy to achieve in the C-22. (Nate was interested in this idea, which probably would have to be adapted for the C-16.)
Dun came aboard our boat and looked at my Dinette to Sofa conversion. Responding to another inquiry on the C-Brat site, now I have found another use for the sofa "backboard," to create bunk beds in the cabin! I also have illustrated use of the galley top as a "child's" bed in the cabin.
At Seneca Falls, we made use for the first time of curtains for privacy in the cabin, and discovered a few "bugs." That project has now been brought to completion, and we are very pleased with it. Ours is a simple and inexpensive solution. (Ray: you may be interested in our approach, concerning which I would be happy to give you more detail.)
I was very attracted to David's use of cam cleats for adjusting his fenders and Terry's use of Perko fender hangars. I am now trying decide how I want to do something like that.
Thanks for sharing your ideas and inspiration!
Cordially, Wayne |

Wayne-
Maybe you should go to work for General Dynamics and see if you can improve on the crew accomodations in the nuclear submarines. I hear thre are a lot of challenges fitting hundreds of bodies around those missle tubes, etc.
Great job on the dinette to sofa conversion! Done very well structurally, and also with color and taste!

Thanks for the compliment!
I'll stick with the C-Dory; submarines would be more of a challenge than I could handle! |

I want to thank everyone of my new friends for making my first gathering such a wonderful time. You really do meet the nicest people on C Dorys. The photos are great and all my friends here are asking to go on the next gathering I attend. I'll have to hold a lottery. I definately will be going on another when I can. |

I just posted three side scan sonar images, with corresponding surface photos and annotations, from our recent Erie Canal tour. They might be particularly interesting to those who were along, and were wondering just what was going on beneath those waters. _________________ 2003 CD22 Cruiser with Honda 90 |

John:
The side scan is a Humminbird 987C, which is shown in the second set of three photos just posted under the Erie Canal Cruise Photos, which capture the "before" and "after" depth readings of a lock thru.
