Well we have completely outgrown our beloved boat. Last Dec we had triplets bringing our crew count up to 7 people and we no longer fit this boat. We have bought another one - a 1974 36' Grand Banks so it is time to sell this wonderful boat. I am just de-winterizing her and have some...

Thanks Alok, Thanks on the tanks - they are 5 years old so I am hoping they are in good shape. Thanks for the tips though I will for sure review them. Thanks for your feedback Alok! Joe

Thanks for the encouragement and I think I will sneak over to the activities. Right now I own both a C-Dory and Grand Banks - thought about keeping the C-Dory as my tender:) I do have my C-Dory hat so I think I can blend in. Have a great week all! Joe

Hard to believe I have been on this forum since about 2003 - lot's of great folks and great conversations. Anyway, it has been a little while since I said hi and that is mostly because we had triplets 15 months ago and we are just getting settled into that adventure. Today I pulled the Sundog...

I like the idea of a family boating reality show! I am thinking something with a pilot house so that I can go hide in the captains area:) Cheers, Joe

Hi All, It has been a while since say howdy. We have still been busy using our C-Dory and you can see photos at http://alaskaphotography.com/ and more recently I have been posting them to http://gallery.me.com/sundogjoe with http://gallery.me.com/sundogjoe#100155 being our trip out this...

The Sundog Crew keeps score by "Days On The Water" we try to get 45 days on the water a year and have to really fight to make that happen. Here are some pics from our last time out: http://www.alaskaphotography.com/2007tr ... index.html We are also finding that it is best for us cost wise to...

Hello from the Sundog Crew We just got back from 6 days, 5 nights in sunny Prince William Sound. We basically circumnavigated Knight Island. We covered a little more than 200 nautical miles and anchored in many wonderful bays and more importantly had some incredible beach time on some new to...

Hello All, Hope everyone is having safe and exciting boating adventures. We are just back from a 5 day trip to Unakwik Inlet and other cool places in Prince William Sound. Here are photos for you to enjoy: http://www.alaskaphotography.com/2007tr ... index.html Or look at a bunch more at...

Hey Catdogcat Sorry we did not hook up. It was a fun trip. I think I hit a log on the way back as I had a chunk of fiberglass/gelcoat missing from my port side front and low about the size of a silver dollar. There is always something to fix on the boat but it sure is fun. I think I will...

Seldovia Alaska Just got back from a wonderful week down in Seldovia Alaska. Caught lot's of halibut and had a wonderful week exploring. Came across yesterday morning on some large seas back to Homer and was glad to be in my cozy C-dory although it tossed us around pretty good. Here are some...

Hi catdogcat, I will be down your way next week, we are spending all of next week down in Seldovia. Maybe see you on the water. Joe

Thanks El and Bill, I appreciate the inspiration your trips have been to me and my family over the years. Safe boating Joe

Here is some info on the dog type: http://www.dogpage.us/hungarian-vizsla.htm Very affectionate and lot's of work:) much like the kids

Winter is finally losing it’s grip in Alaska and we had to get a little shake down voyage even though it is still a little cold. We actually had a pretty good day of sunshine on Saturday and Sunday with rain Sat night and raining harder as we came into Whittier Monday morning. Hopefully many...

Hey CatDogCat Books that I have started into: Day By Day to Alaska - Dale R. Peterson Kayaking the Inside Passage - Robert Miller Exploring Southeast Alaska - Don Douglass & Reanne Hemingway-Douglas Great Maps - http://www.fineedge.com - buy the 2'x6' north route. Threes A Crew by Kathrene...

Well -- I have been really taking the feedback to heart and am going to spend a little more time in the design phase before I jump into the welding. I am really hoping to do the AK portion of the inside passage this summer and not sure I can afford both -- I guess if I have to choose between...

As I mull over this, I am thinking about pulling my radar arch as it will be redundant - I can setup a spot for radar on the new aluminum work - does anyone know how much the tall radar arches are worth? could help with my costs on this project:) Thanks again for any feedback

Thanks for the feedback. To answer a couple thoughts 1. you are right it is a little crazy to hang out on top, but I already dive off the radar arch - so the crazy part is a given. 2. The Height - I really like to pull my dingy in sticking up vertical and my dingy is 8' long - thus the...

Hi There , Tomorrow I am taking my boat into a shop to create a covered cockpit arrangement so that I can fish/adventure and stay dry. I have posted a couple links at my site and was hoping people could review these 2 links and give me some feedback that might impact the design. Links...
