Hi Ben--- I purchased the book-RIVERS OF THE EASTERN SHORE- from Riverby Books-- www.riverbybooks.com they have two used book stores in Washington DC (202)543-4342 and in Fredericksburg, Va. (540)-373-6148. They actually have a seperate book section devoted to the Chesapeake Bay and the...

Hi Ben--- A good book for historical information and exploring the Eastern Shore, and it's unknown nooks and crannies is called-- RIVERS OF THE EASTERN SHORE--- by Hulbert Footner written in 1944 and 1972( a wealth of information). It covers 17 Maryland rivers, and information on many historical...

Pat- Hopefully Patti will make a speedy recovery, kidney problems aren't any fun, I've been there and done that! I'll check in with you when I return.-----Rich

Good idea about the seperate thread, then again how many members actually own a 16' C-Dory or a 14'? Anyone have an idea? Well, I'm out of here, I'm on my way to Va. to retrive boat and motorhome.----Rich

VERY INTERESTING!----Thanks-----Rich

Marty-- thanks,( regarding Fiddler's Green) I use to have a good picture on my boat that showed alot of swaggering, drinking,wenching, playing of nine pins, and cards, by all the old heros and rascals of the sea, along with King Neptune, himself. The earliest figure was Eric the Red and...

Hi Dan--- Welcome aboard! The C-Dory design you are looking for I think was called a 22' Sport, it was all seats on both sides and open at the back, and I thought a perfect design, especially for day trips, or fishing groups, it would also make a good Florida boat. I went to the factory and...

Hi Marty--- I will check the size of my tanks when I get to the boat next week, I think the two plastic tanks in the stern are larger than 6 gal. each, although one is larger than the other, the bow is probably 6 gal. I also have two carry on cans that are rated at 2 or 3 gal each just as a...

Hi Old Growth---- to my thinking the best crossing and easiest is probably from Key Largo to Bimini, (Miami to Bimini is approx. 45 miles), by going a little furthur south you do get some advantage with the Gulf Stream from this angle.As far as fuel goes I have three tanks in the stern and I...

Hi All--- Count me in, the sooner the better. Anytime after Thanksgiving is fine with me.----Rich on Don Quixote, still chasing rainbows and fighting windmills---

Yes, Roger that makes sense, I must have a regular shaft on the 8 H.P.---Rich

Did any member ever see this $6,000 boat? Any idea who bought it?---Rich

Hi Steve---- On my 16' cruiser, I have an evinrude 50 H.P and an 8 H.P. along with two fairly large gas tanks and one battery in the rear, with another battery in the bow area, this seems to work fine for all of my uses with 2 people aboard. Balancing does not seem to be much of a problem. I...

Hello All-- I MAY BE putting my 1991 16' cruiser on the market in the near future, possibly around the 1st of the year, it is really a well equipped and maintained boat with new sunbrella top and covers. Before I list it in the various classifieds, I will give any member that is interested a...

Great news---Buying a boat is always an exciting and nervous time. I'm sure Cutter is happy also, hopefully you two will be able to make the(3rd) 2007 Eastern Shore Gathering?-----Rich

Tom & Shan---if you are planning on taking four people all day, most of the time, buy the 22'. At the last Chesapeake gathering four adults were aboard the Fransea(22' cruiser) and we had plenty of room for an extended lunch run of approx. 4 hrs. We had adequate room and cruised at 25-28 mph...

Thankfully, I don't have to worry about this problem, my question would be which boat would get serviced 1st? The C-Dory or the Sea Ray if both were brought in at the same time, is this a local Washington state only thing or it going to be Nationwide, and is Sea Ray going to be able to stock...

Thanks Sneaks---- I was looking at the new 23' class C, View motorhome with the Mercedes diesel, it is suspose to ge around 18 mpg, the dealer said the max. tongue Wt. could not exceed #350, since strangely, we are presently dealer poor here in S. Calif. I figured this site was the best source...

Does anyone know what the actual tongue weight is on the 16' compared to the 22'?---------Rich
