Hey, John - You are doing it up right! The goal should always be living life on your terms. Boat cruising is a good way to stay fit... so you can keep boat cruising. :cool: I enjoy your posts.

Nice write up - thanks for sharing, John. I really appreciate the way you did the loop, taking time to enjoy the areas along the way. Congrats on completing it. So, what's next? A second trip around or maybe out to the Pacific Northwest?

Plenty of photos in the link for the survey.

Not with a GVWR of 4,600 pounds. A CD25 alone weighs more than that; the GVWR is the boat, trailer, and any stuff you have on the boat.

There are a couple Sea Sport owners groups on Facebook.

A lot of people, magazine articles included, have referred to the 25 Cruiser as "a trailerable trawler." Congrats, Judy, on the sale of Journey On, if all goes as planned. Plenty of C-Dory history on that boat.

The San Juan Island Tour is a great offering for the Friday Harbor participants! Having worked and lived on the island for 5 seasons, we discovered so many cool things about the island that you can't experience by boat. Very cool that you are giving participants other options for things to do...

We had a pair of those Kermit Chairs back in our motorcycle cruising days. They are comfortable, as long as you are OK with a low seating position (they do make them in a 3" taller model, but it is still lower than a typical camp chair). They fold up small and are built for a lifetime of use...

These are on sale right now at West Marine...

I am sure you will get a response from Dr Bob (Thataway) - he has owned 22 and 25 C-Dorys, as well as a TomCat. We owned a 25 Cruiser and traveled with friends who owned a TomCat. While the cabin on the CD-25 and the TomCat look pretty similar on a walk-through, they are very different boats...

You can add a reply to that same For Sale thread with additional information. No editing to for sale posts.

Hi Ed. We installed a solar vent in the hatch over the V-berth. Also put Hypervent under the V-berth cushions to allow air flow under the cushions. Our boat lived in the water at our dock when we were home. When in storage, we used one of those devices that Phil showed.

Very different hull shapes. You notice it when you have to slow down in the chop. Your kid will notice it at the fuel pumps. When the water gets ugly enough that he has to slow down, too, your slow ride in the C-Dory will be better. The boat can take it, but why put yourselves through the...

Your conscience may not appreciate this response. If you want your wife to enjoy being out on the boat with you, drive it to please her. When out on your own, pound it 'till your fillings are knocked out, if you want. While the boat can take it, most people don't like the pounding. When we...

Hey, Ken. Would you take $497,850? Is the trailer included in that price? I know you're going to say that I should come look at it before I low-ball you, but I'm going to have to take our nest egg and stop in Las Vegas on my way north. Just trying to figure out how many times I need to let...
