Martin, I checked out the photos of Nomad. She looks lovely.

Thanks Martin. I appreciate your perspective on the lifestyle. Your solution for keeping veggies fresh is so simple - best fridge ever - seawater-cooled and free - unlimited source of coolant too! Really appreciating everyone's perspectives on the simplicity possible at sea with a C-Dory.

Thanks Harvey. I feel welcomed!

That's interesting Bob. Hadn't heard that before about the 3.0L

Thanks Midnight Flyer (love the name). Sounds like a nice rig.

Thanks Chris. I never eat yellow snow... :shock: I think a van or SUV might be more suitable for me as I have a dog, and may get another, and the van would give me secure storage for a dog crate, as well as groceries and other stuff, and with the amount of winter rain we have up here, I'd...

Thanks Spike.

Thanks Lorelei. Good point. I think a truck wouldn't be the best choice for me - a van or SUV of some sort sounds best so far.

Thanks Foggy. My comment about "a plomb" was my Grade 4 sense of humor rearing its head :D

Thanks Will-C. I'll look up the Toureg too. Lots of great advice from you folks. C-Brats are perty dang helpful people. :D

Thanx Thataway. I'll check into Honda Pilots. I love the Hondas. I appreciate your comment about simple van + sports car. That may be the best way for me to go as I'd hate to give up my little roadster. :) :idea:

Sorry 1Tuberider - thanks for the tip, not on the 2500, but on the E250!

thanks 1Tuberider for the tip on the 2500. I live in the small seaside town of Sidney, BC. I wonder whether the local authorities would mind if I towed the boat to the ramp with a Kubota tractor? It would sure get all the car traffic out of the way in a hurry. :) :thup

Thanks Foggy. Love your signature quote: Never become really good at something you don't love to do.

Thanks Hemingway. I noticed Sunbeam's use of the word "aplomb" too - He mentioned his tow vehicle "handles the 22 with aplomb". I've spent the morning phoning marine supply stores to ask where I can buy "a plomb", because it seems that's part of the equipment necessary needed to tow a 22. So...

Good tip about the contractor rental places. It's helpful to get a feel for how you began the process. Thx.

OK. Gotcha. Good idea.

Yes, I learned that by talking with the Brats at their Sidney BC rendezvous last weekend. They came from all over the place and they really get out there and use their boats. That's how I want to do it too. I see larger boats at the marinas that never seem to go out - too much hassle and...

Thanks Sunbeam. Most helpful. With several variables to consider, I wonder whether I should just begin in this way: 1 buy a 22' with trailer 2 find somewhere to store it 3 rent a truck or find a friend who I can hire to launch it when I need it in the water (as a starting point) 4 enjoy...

Thanks SoBelle. I'll check those out.
