Well, for curtains on my CDory 25, I used an old bed sheet set (blue) an velcroed them in place...I love velcro. I am also fond of duct tape but have not used that yet on my CDory...so far no need... Amanda

Thank you, I am looking forward to meeting some CDory people sooner rather than later. Thanks for the weather update too. Amanda

Hello all, I was going to join you on this trip, but I just found out that a very important person in my life will be graduating from colloege around the same dates. I hope to join you all another time. Amanda

Isn't it a bit warm in that part of the country in May? Like breathe and you sweat? How do you people keep cool or am I just wrong about the humidity and temperature? Amanda

Richard This sounds like a good first trip for me in unfamiliar waters. I am free May 20-24 and also have the time to haul the boat from Arizona back there. I am unsure of my skills and will feel good doing this with a group. I am a "single-handler" and trying mightily to figure everything out...

The description of getting back on the boat from the water, using the trim tab as a step sounds like a great idea. You say you have practiced it many times...I want to try it too, but I weigh almost 210 and I am concerned that practice will damage the tab. Of course, in an emergency, who cares...

When I brought my C-Dory back from Sportcraft in Oregon I spent one nite in a motel and 2 nights at KOA's (very noisy). It never occurred to me to just park at a Walmart. Thanks for the notion. I will use it when I travel from my home in Arizona to Lake Powell next September. Amanda

Am I to understand that you guys park in Walmart parking lots and stay overnight in your C-Dory when you are on long haul trips? Amanda

If you all don't mind, I would like to join you next September 24 at Oak Canyon with my C-Dory Pohaku. It will be my first gathering. Amanda

I brought my C-Dory from Oregon to Arizona via I-5 and I-10. The tow vehicle is my 3/4 Chevy 2500HD pickup. It has a built in mileage indicator and a button your supposed to push when you are towing something. Throughout the trip I set and used the cruise control at 55mph. I stayed in the right...

I could have sworn I read a post awhile back that suggested using Liquid Roller on the bunks to help with loading and straightening my C-Dory on the trailer. I searched for the post, but no luck. I am having dreams where my C-Dory slides off the trailer as I drive up the ramp after retrieval...

Thank you for my morning laugh Chester! What a picture I got with Armoral + bike seat! Amanda

They have floating bathrooms at Lake Powell, plus 5 marinas (6 if you count Hite). You might check the C-Dory site for past events. There is one that shows Lake Powell with the C-Dory gathering in October 2010 (sorry I missed that!). They show lots of dogs and different ways to anchor. I used to...

I'm with you Joe. I will do my best to be clear. I have found that ANY question I have receives a prompt and kind answer. To the Captain and crew of the Curlew: anytime you want to go to Lake Powell, I certainly would be interested in seeing another C-Dory there. I rangered there years ago and...

It is always nice to know I'm not the only person in the universe experiencing a particular problem! Great suggestions and I will get after the cleaning, opening the latch properly and silicone slidy stuff. Gracias! Amanda

Hello out there... I am having quite a struggle when I try to open my 2 large cabin windows. They just don't slide easily. I know they need to be snug so that they are waterproof, but it takes both hands and a standing or kneeling position to get them open. I thought about rubbing soap on the...

I used to have an old OMC that had a blower with the inboard motor and fuel situation where it is required. My pontoon boat needs no blower because the fuel tank is out in the air. I get that. With the C-Dory, the tank is under the cockpit deck (all nicely enclosed). The batteries are also...

My C-Dory 25 did not come with a blower. Am I in danger when I start up? Should I be venting something somehow? Amanda

Well y'all... I managed to remove the water heater and only ended up standing in 1 inch of water. (I forgot to put on the power so the bilge pump would work...). Anyway, I followed your directions (mostly) and accomplished the task. So thank you all kindly. I now have a nice space for storage...

Dear LocalBoy THANK YOU! I will follow your instructions to the letter. Amanda
