Byrdman and Terry Brenda and I are not local but. We have been considering a short cruise in the NASHVILLE. LAND BETWEEN THE LAKES area and possible down the TOMBIGBEE sometime in late April or early May. So let us know if you get something together for the local folks. Bill and Brenda...

Thanks again. I have just returned 2/6/2009 from a short cruise on the ICW west of Morgan City LA and the Avery Island area. While anchored there was a small amount of water that splashed into the cockpit from high wind and a tow's wake. This modification is still on my mind but has...

Keith It's good to have another boat in Arkansas, now there are three. There is a daily post under FORUMS of this C-Brats site ICW KEY WEST tracking a cruise from Shreveport LA to Key West by my brother and I JANUARY 2007 1,600 MILES 30 DAYS. I also have a written hard copy this adventure...

Thanks for all your replies and all are good ideas from how to attach and a variety of uses Drilling a hole in my beloved "FALCON" is a traumatic thought, the actual event may bring on depression, and may be too much for me to handle I know from other post that water over the splash well and...

I know that the 22 cruiser splash well has been modified to increase the transom freeboard to protect from being broached by a big wake or a big wave coming over the transom but my search of the site has been unsuccessful. Your help to point the way will be appreciated. Thanks

The Boat: Our C-Dory 22 Cruiser 75 HP Honda is a great boat and performed with perfection all the way as it has for all our adventures (6537 miles). Camping out on the boat is a piece of cake but for my first mate booking a hotel room is sometimes necessary. Going to Fast: We made an...

"Falcon" and crew arrived safe back at home in Stamps AR about 5:00 PM, March 26, 2008. Towing our boat back from Brownsville TX was long and Brenda and I are exhausted. We say a great big thanks to Jim and Joan for your hospitality far beyond imagination. Bill and Brenda Russell
