The November issue of Yachtsman Magazine, covering SF Bay and the Delta, has this listed, with 130 hours on a Honda 150 for $45K. Doesn't seem possible ... but who knows. The number listed in the classifieds ad is (415) 332-0368. The online version of the magazine can be found at...

Boris and Judy, Enjoyed your blog. Laughed out loud several times ... not that common for me. I think, being fresh from Iowa, your misery struck a chord. We have moved to Oakland since we saw you during your trip to the Bay. Got tired of saying this would be great except for the heat, the...

I like bunks for the reasons Roger gives plus the way they support the hull. A roller bunk can permanently deform a fiberglass hull ... although this may not be true for a C-Dory with its balsa core. The stress and the "EZ-Unloader" threat of full roller trailers never appealed to me even when...

I agree that a Pacific is a great trailer and that they give outstanding customer service. They are also located in Newark, CA, just south of Oakland on 880 if that is more convenient.

In all probability, your spots are etched glass, so any effective approach requires polishing not cleaning. If they are spots ... and I'll bet they're not ... vinegar should work. If it's etching the polishing approaches mentioned should work ... with more or less elbow grease. I've been...

I apologize for bringing this back to the top one last time. My computer skills ... lack thereof ... were not up to e-mailing photos , so I put a few in my album. I also updated my profile so that my e-mail address is now correct. If anyone in interested in more or better photos, let me know...

There has been some interest in the truck, so I will post a few more details and try to get some pictures posted tomorrow. HD 2500 Z71. High end Leer lid. Like new Bed Rug. Tubular boards. 6 1/2 foot bed. Hitch changed out to heavier than factory. Brake controller. Greg

Probably not a better deal around for someone wanting to tow a C-Dory 25 while avoiding the price of new. 2007 Silverado. Just over 50000 miles. Duramax, LTZ, crew cab. Well loaded luxury vehicle; Bose, etc. As new ... serviced by the book. Babied. Book says about 28500. Wife says I...

Regarding the dish soap, a few years ago a new friend in the Keys told us about using DAWN LIQUID on the bunk rails. I tried it and it worked well. But since he had no explanation, I did not take seriously that it had to be Dawn ... even though that is what I used. Then I read in the...

Warren, I am more than willing to agree that we are smarter. It has something to do with the fertilizers in the water. :) I hope Oakland doesn't suck it out of me. Actually, I have been told quite a few times now that our move is evidence of something other than smarts on my part. I prefer...

I am 64. Born and raised in central Iowa. Worked there our whole lives. Raised our family. Entered retirement there. Until a few weeks ago, Iowa was the home base we returned to every three or four months as we C-Doryed around the country. I love Iowa. It is most often incredibly...

Unfortunately, I typically go with the most expensive solution ... in this case, an Edson manual pump that I believe I paid about $650 for. Works great. A few pumps and the C-Dory tank is empty. Flushing the tank flushes the hose. Very neat, very clean. Connects to the boat with the same...

After a year, during which we lived on the boat for seven months, we absolutely love our Camano. It is called a 31 but is really a 28 that lives more like a 32. It is above your current price range, but that price is established to be broken. It was out of our range too, but Nancy made me...

Thanks to all for the kind words. I often enjoy the story of another's comedic trials and tribulations so it seemed only fair to share mine. As I mentioned to Larry in a PM, I did not get the hoped for cathartic effect when I was banging it out. My blood pressure actually skyrocketed -- and...
