We will be there with trombone and potato pins

I would not own a C-Dory without trim tabs. I have owned a 22 and now a 25

Governor Little shut down the state yesterday,effective today. Many small towns like Stanley telling tourists to stay away. Out of state licence plates not welcome. This is not me speaking but a report on what I observe. Cheryl and I are considered essential because we are volunteers at the...

The famous Joe of Joe and Ruth is having a birthday in Bow Washington. Hip- hip- Hooray! I think they have been to every C-Brat event that we have been to, plus many that we have missed. I want to call him up and play happy birthday to him but can't find his phone number. If anyone can help me...

Roger and Cheryl will be on the water by this weekend, launching the 22nd at Anacortes with no definite plans but the great people in Canada will get a visit for sure. Also a bunch of favorite stops. Friday harbor, Stuart island, Wallace Island, Ganges. Hope to see some Brats along the way!

Reminds me of a great smelt run on lake Superior! The campfires were going all night along the shore by French River outlet. I was stumbling along looking for some relatives so I asked one campfire bunch if they had seen any Finns. They said, " Ya dem Finns is over dere, Da big campfire, and...

Thank you brats, for the recent replies to my question - a lot of good input from people who study and know boats. We plan on spending late summer and maybe early October in the San Juan's and Canadian gulf islands.

Hi to the C Brats- the best bunch of people this side of Finland! While at the Anacortes boat show I became interested in the CD 26 on display. Does anyone have any thoughts on a comparison of the Two boats? We own a 25 {In Cahoots} and I thought that was it for us. Now I'm not so sure. The 26...

The book Arctic Solitaire by Paul Sounders is worth the money! If you like adventure, photography, and C-Dory boats this might be for you. The C-dory 22 got him through it all as he explored up in Hudson's Bay along with too many cameras and polar bears for company. Roger Juntunen

It brings back lots of memory's looking at Far West two now docked in Friday harbor. Yellowstone John was always there at bridge bay on Yellowstone Lake to lead the group in visiting, advice and the five o'clock drinks. He was special. I hope his wife is doing fine, she didn't much care for...

Bill and El, I am ordering several of your books, and meeting you both several years ago was a pleasure. Your writing has inspired me for years and has made us all more keen observers of nature and the world we live in. Roger Juntunen In CaHoots Idaho

Hi Brats-We were the last to leave the Friday Harbor event and ended up with a nice lawn chair that a brat had left. It is blue with a side tray- a dandy. It will be at the next F.H. event to pick up . Roger IN CAHOOTS I

Hi C Brats, Cousin Dick and Judy on Jesse James and Roger and Cheryl on In Cahoots are thinking about circumnavigating Vancouver Island. Are there any brats that have done it that would share their experiences? Jesse James, hull wise, is not an easy boat to travel with in a C-Dory, as it is a...

Sportcraft is first class! I will say that they are all terrific, the way customer service is supposed to be. I may be old but customer service has really slipped in the last 20 years. Sportcraft does things the right way or the old way. A big plus is Jerry on the back who is a great mechanic...

Hi Brats, This is a great topic on a serious issue-I hope it keeps on going as there are a lot of Brats smarter than me. Many of us use this forum for some education as well as fun and friendship. Personally, I tend to see rivers from a canoeists perspective and living in Idaho and seeing the...
