New C-Dory 22 Cruiser

Hi All,
We have just purchased a new 22 Cruiser, we went on a trip to Wa. and saw some C-Dorys on the rivers and they were looking good. We came back home to NC and found a dealer about 250 miles from us and the rest is history.
We have had it about 3 weeks and love it, we spent 3 nights on it last weekend.
We are from the Tarheel state of Northern NC.
I just found this Forum yesterday and looked at a lot of Pics
last night.

Welcome...and congrats on your new boat! Yep, you are about to succumb to "C-Dory-itis". It's ok, we all have it bad!

There's tons of good info around here...

JimandSandy - welcome aboard. Glad to have you as members of this site. You could not have joined a better group than the C-Brats. If you ever get back to the northwest give me a holler. Would be a pleasure meeting you two.

Welcome Jim and Sandy. You have found a great boat and this site is a wonder to behold. We bought our 22' last April and have enjoyed it thoroughly. The wise (and wiseacre) folks on this site can answer virtually any question and sometimes they're even right!!

Best wishes.

Welcome aboard--don't forget the C Dory gatherings--and I am sure there will be one again next year in the Gulf Area of Florida--we have folks come from all over the South. Look up C Brat members where ever you are; you'll find a great welcome.

Hi All,
Thanks for the good welcome, looking at some the gatherings that has been took place,
Look like everyone at the Gulf Coast had a good time. Maybe we can make some of them.
Thanks,
Jim & Sandy

Welcome aboard Jim and Sandy. Great to have other East siders on board!! Our numbers are ever increasing. Now.. do not think just cause you are new that you can't just toss together a gathering of your own in some of your local waters. That is what is so fun about having these trailerable cruisers. We just drag'em to where someone knows a bit about the local accomidations/ramps/waters.... and there ya go!!

We have done a couple in the Nashville TN area over the last couple of years and had folks show from CA, CO, KY, AL, FL.... and some folks from NY made the Gulf Coast one this year....along with others from AR... so... we travel a bit, eat a lot, and have a great time with our boats.

Go ahead and request from the admin folks of the site a photo album and post some pics of your boat and crew. That is for sure another way we learn new things to try on our boats. We are always just-a-fixin things.

Welcome again.

Welcome to C-Brats Jim and Sandy. I've been trying to locate Westfield, N. C. on our atlas, but to no avail. Where is Westfield near? (Went to college in N. C. and also spent some military time in N. C.)

Allan and Virginia,
Pandy Girl was my nickname when I was a little girl. Just thought it would be neat to name our C-Dory Pandy Girl. Its different isn't it? Thanks for asking. Sandy

Hi Byrdman,
We enjoyed all of the Pic of the Gulf Coast outing what a wonderful time all had. We will try to go to some in 2007 we are going to Tx. for a month of Jan. to find a place where we can take our C-Dory on the next trip on the coast.
We will consider looking for a place to have some C-Dory owners at one of our local Lakes.
Thanks Again
Jim
PS Does some of the C-Dory owners pull theres behind Motorhomes? We could do that or pull with a truck and stay in the C-Dory.

Hi Dave S.
Glad to know you have been to NC, have you ever hear of Mount Airy home of Andy Griffin it is about 40 Miles north of Winston Salem NC. We are about 20 miles east of Mt. Airy on the Va. & NC State Line at the foot of the Appalachian Mountians. Check out the zip code which is 27053 that will get you to where we are.
