Alan, When you call back to Lankford,next week, ask for John A. He is the one who handles us each year. I live less than a mile from the marina, so if you have any detailed questions, feel free to ask. Terraplane (aka Tom)

Comment on El and Bill's statement: I'm certainly in that worried group. My retirement income is made up on my TIAA/CREF pension from Vassar,good health insurance, Social Security, and my stock portfolio. My tendency has been to try to live from the pension and S.S. as much as possible, only...

I continue to be amazed by this site....honestly, C Dory should advertise the C Brats as a part of their sales pitch for buyers! I appreciate all the advice: personal, technological, pro/con, etc...It really helps me to decide. I am going to look at what is possible for a deal, but I am leaning...

Boris: The mechanic at Cutters seems to me to be very good...at least my experience with him has been good. The engine is tuned well, and serviced every 100 hours. Re: Chartplotter: have one..Garmin...no radar cause i rarely go out when it is needed and I don't like the idea of "once it's on...

I will check out all available parking (at the local ramp, Lankford Bay Marina, and my house...and give a total number of spaces....will do sometime next week. Terraplane

Last year I think i just had to say "first come first served" re: parking on my field. It used to be larger...i've built a house now on part of it, so i'd guess, with clever work, i could get five rigs on the space...so, let's leave it that way, if there is room, you are welcome. There is...

Art, Why not plan on coming up to Rock Hall for our gathering in June (6,7,8)..even if you don't bring the boat..Just drive on up, and spend the weekend with the best medicine outside of Johns Hopkins...about 60 C Dory people! Terraplane

Joe, thanks for the info. I have not talked to my original dealer, Cutter. I'd consider them because i really like their mechanic...but one of my friends got a "rough" idea from a friend who works for one of the Delaware dealers...he thought that , with my trade, and some rigging costs, and the...

Will you be trailering up or coming on the water? If trailering, i have room for about five rigs on my field at my house, which is about a mile from the marina. You will enjoy the gathering...great people, lots of fun, food, and a wealth of information from the "veterans" who have had these...

Thanks for the response...this is why i said "considering"....it is rare that i have some disposable income that is not earmarked...so,that is one reason...and i'm really just eliciting opinions, (like yours) to help me with the decision. The idea of waiting a year or so is one i didn't think...

Dan, Unrelated to Tom Brady (which i agree , a great marketing op for C dory) i was looking at your photos...i am looking at dinghys and your size seems about right for me..but i have the small antenna /light post up on the lip of the cabin...how did you handle that? Terraplane

Please note the word "considering".....I have a little bit of "surplus" $$ and might consider trading my 2005 Honda 90..carbureted...for a new motor. Can some of you give me a bit of feedback on the Honda 90 EFI, what i might expect to pay, trade in values, etc. I am not trying to start the...

Charlie, The overnight in the Patuxent sounds great...I have been in St. Leonard's many times...sometimes playing chromatic harmonica for Vera's White Sands...sadly she is gone now.... Let's make a plan..of course, wx,wind,wave all make it flex. EL and Bill: I will play for sure, especially if...

Good work Charlie, How long would it take us to go from Lankford down the the Potomac? You've done it a couple of times i think. Good to see that sign up list...our "committee' will be meeting sometime next month...as usual, if anyone has suggestions, ideas, things to change, please feel...

Just got back from checking the boat..SALLY'S SISTER, in her slip...icyl cold, good snow today...I go down to see her almost every day...just a mile from the house..Last night i intended to take her out, but got caught up in some small maintenance details...It was blowing about 20, so, with...

Charlie, I'm not able to make the Seattle show this year. I'd love to do it, but my Mainstay duties prevent it. I like the idea of starting at the Potomac but fear the distance might be onerous for some....Maybe a run to Solomon's overnight, then Potomac, then working back? Anyway, could be a...

I'm going to suggest to our Chesapeake gathering group for June 6,8, that they read Willima Warner's BEAUTIFUL SWIMMERS, a great book on crabbing, but much more.

Charlie, It is good to see you are "in" for the gathering...and I'm assuming your tech expertise is again on loan...thanks. Byrdman has expressed some interest in spending some time after the gathering getting around the Bay. What do you think of this plan: Sunday, June 8...depart for St...

Can someone tell me how to get this gathering posted on the list of gatherings on the home page? As ever, a dunce. Terraplane

Slight correction: arrival time will, as usual, begin on Friday, June 6!
