    2026 Delta and Bay Extravaganza Sign Up!

    Works for me. Would be nice to have another slow boater with me. And there are some nice spots near the Duck Club to anchor and wait for the others if we get there before them. I actually plan on arriving Rio Vista, or nearby, on the 17th. But planning 500 miles a day driving out 2000 miles...

    2026 Delta and Bay Extravaganza Sign Up!

    Question. I know everyone pretty much runs fast (on plane) on this cruise, except in no wake zones, but would it be a problem if any of us (like me lol) wanted to run slow to conserve fuel and enjoy the scenery a little more? I know the Duck Club has a tricky entrance, but I am familiar with...

    2026 Delta and Bay Extravaganza Sign Up!

    If you still have room, I think I'd like to bring C-Traveler out on this cruise again. Immediately afterwards I will be heading north and joining two of my other cruising buddies to cruise up the west side of Canada, possibly as far as Prince Rupert. So I may decide to skip Benicia and do the...

    What controls at helm do folks use for main and kicker?

    When I had my 22, I had a connector rod. It could only be installed with both motors down. With the cable system, either motor can be in either position. If you decide to go with that system, be sure to follow the directions to grease the rod on the kicker side at the very least, annually. I...

    What controls at helm do folks use for main and kicker?

    I have a cockpit helm, so that makes it a little different. I have hydraulic steering, and use seastar's cable tie system that goes between the kicker and main. Thus, I can steer either motor from either position. (Cabin or Helm). My main's throttle is at the cabin helm, while the kicker...

    Epilogue to Great Lakes to Inland Rivers Loop Segment Adventure (on FindPenquins)

    Rosanne was wondering if you got Cat-O-Mine fixed yet and back on the water. I'll show her this. :-)

    2026 Friday Harbor C-Brats Get-Together

    I had every intention of making the gathering this year, but as of now, looks like I'll be cruising with two of my cruising buddies between Anacortes and farther north, possibly Prince Rupert. Planning to be on the water from late April until end of June, so you may see us if you are on the...

    C-Brats 2026 Calendar is NOW Available!

    Hi Dave, Just curious which FB Group site. Thought I'd go take a look and see if I can figure anything out. I'll let Gary answer if there is another way. But I suspect other than finding someone to order one for you, it probably has to be done at Lulu. FWIW, I ordered early, got the first...

    2026 Hontoon Island Gathering. March 3,4,5. DeLand Florida on St. John’s river.

    Dan, this would be an excellent opportunity for you to check out the various C-Dorys. I will not be able to make this year's gathering, but I've made 9 or 10 in the past, and we always have time to show folks our boats, which many times include all from the 16' to the Tomcat 25' and the 26'...

    C-Brats 2026 Calendar is NOW Available!

    Just received my calendar today. I do want to note one correction. The photo at the top of November states C-Traveler at Neville Bay, TN, Cumberland River. While I took the photo, the actual boat in the photo is the Little Joe, owned by Mike and Christy. As usually, there are some beautiful...

    Does anyone use a kicker motor on the starboard side?

    Thanks big time. I'm still learning how to find things on this updated site!

    Does anyone use a kicker motor on the starboard side?

    I was just going to grab photos from my computer files and upload a few here, but then realized that in cleaning up my computer I deleted all my Midnight Flyer photos. Probably not one of my smarter moves! (I figured since I had put most my mods in albums here, and sold that boat, I didn't need...

    Does anyone use a kicker motor on the starboard side?

    Tyboo or DaNag, has any improvement been made on categorizing our photo albums? I was trying to find Midnight Flyer's nested album on its kicker install, and didn't have any luck finding that album or photos.

    Does anyone use a kicker motor on the starboard side?

    Both my previous 22 and my current 25 have the kicker on the starboard side. Not a problem. If you can find it, my photo album for Midnight Flyer, (my previous 22), has an embedded album of my kicker install on that boat.

    Dangling Rope Marina

    Just saw this excellent link in regards to the removal of Dangling Rope Marina at Lake Powell. I visited Dangling Rope Canyon this past April and October when I was on Lake Powell. Sad to see everything gone, but with the lower water levels I don't think there would be room for the facilities...

    2026 Hontoon Island Gathering. March 3,4,5. DeLand Florida on St. John’s river.

    Rosanne and I will be bowing out this year. Rosanne is planning on going on a medical mission to El Salvador during the same time frame, and we both chose that I stay home during this time, rather than coming solo to Hontoon. This gathering is definitely one of my favorites, and the perfect...

    It's those damn disc brake calipers again

    I don't see corrosion on the pads or calipers. Could just be the photo lighting. Mystery Girl Bill reminded me he has had to replace pads half a dozen times as well. Also Pacific Trailer inexpensive ones. I think those are the same ones I have rebuilt the calipers with. So I'm thinking it's...
