C-Puffin has been sold and will be moving to Oregon. Hopefully we will see some of you out on the water sometime soon. We'll keep you posted. Have a safe and happy boating season. Scott, Laurie and Bella

The C-Puffin is for sale. We're taking a break from boating but hope to be back on the water soon on a Camano 31. We've enjoyed all of the C-Brat get togethers , and also the great people I met while working for the C-Dory factory. We'll always be C-Brats at heart and look forward to seeing...

We are so sorry to hear about Valkyrie. I was just a little more than a year ago that we lost our Airedale, Winston to cancer also. It just seems so unfair that we can't keep them with us longer. Scott and Laurie

Well, could anything possibly be cuter than that??!! So glad that you have gotten another dog. We decided to get Bella pretty soon after we lost Winston and while it didn't make us miss him any less, it sure helped with the emptiness. I hope that Baxter will be joining us in Bellingham...

It was great to see all the old and new faces and what a great turn out for a gathering in early March. The weather could not have been any better Sunday for a 5 hour trip back to Twin Bridges flat water and sunny, even Bella seemed to enjoy it laying out in the cockpit. Look forward to seeing...

We are planning to leave Twin Bridges between 11 and 12 on Friday. Sure hope that forecast holds true. Looking forward to seeing everyone for a great weekend. Laurie on C-Puffin

On Wednesday morning on our way from Twin Bridges through Guemes channel we saw David on shore towing the Anna Leigh either to or from the launch ramp. When we got to Sucia we met the crew from Sailor-D, Dave, Helen and Gus (a fellow terrier type for Winston to touch noses with). We were very...

Just a quick note to clarify your choices. With the size trim tabs that your boat is going to have you will have to use a bracket. Your choices are a fixed bracket which you will have to use a extra long 25" shaft or an up and down bracket with at least 10" of movement which you would use a...

I, too can get motion sickness from airplanes, cars and especially boats. When we had our Grady White I took dramamine every time we went out because anyone who has had a couple of bouts with seasickness will tell you that even that crappy feeling you get from the drugs is better than the...

I have a 135 Honda with a 15 kicker on my 25 and have been very pleased with this engine set up. I have had the chance to take out other 25s with a variety of engines and feel a single engine in the 135-150 range gives you the best combination of performence, economy and value.

Larry This past summer we made the trip from Des Moines Marina just east of Gig Harbor to Anacortes in about 6 hours with conditons not the best, there was a lot of fog. Our boat has been at Des Moines Marina for the past month and we will be making this trip again next week so I will give you...

Well, I can't let this topic go by without a picture of my Winston who many of you have met at C-Brat gatherings. He just turned 12 and he is kind of a reluctant boat dog, but he comes along with us anyway. Not many terriers on boats and not many 80 lb dogs. It takes 2 of us to get him on and...

I'm sure you could have your boat on a rack there for as long as you needed. We've never had an issue with space, and once your boat is on the rack it's pretty much yours until you are done. We've never needed power there but I'm pretty sure that it's available. Scott and Laurie

We've been keeping C-Puffin at Twin Bridges since last July. You really can't beat the convenience of having the boat in the water ready to go when you arrive. Having the pump-out right there on the dock is great too (although it was out of service for a bit this summer). They have sprayers...

Wow - I'm so jealous, you guys had a perfectly gorgeous day for your cruise. I wish we could have joined you but the boat is at the factory for some upgrades. I hope everyone had a wonderful time and enjoyed the rare December sunshine. See you all at the boat show. Laurie from C-Puffin
