Sharp Cove, Deception Pass state park

We launched from Port Townsend on April 15th & since have been staying at the various island parks. Beautiful weather, that looks to continue right up to the Gathering. At present, we are headed to Reid Harbor on Stuart Island from Friday Harbor. We have only seen one other C-Dory, a 16’ & it...

Well, JoLee hasn’t regressed & she is actually doing much better, than we even hoped for, but our plans are changing with the Friday Harbor Gathering & the later cruise to Princess Louise Inlet cruise, now very likely for both of us to attend. Following PLI, we may continue on to Prince Rupert...

Gary, it is now very likely JoLee & I, along with our HunkyDory will be attending this gathering. Would you please PM me the reservation code. Thanks, Jay

Cokeville, Wyoming, where we live is about 70 miles north of Evanston, Wyoming, where Ken mentioned he worked in the frozen north one year & Cokeville on average runs at least 10 degrees cooler than Evanston. Overall it’s been a much warmer than usual winter, but this week, I needed to drive...

There’s a very faint chance, I may make, the Friday Harbor Gathering again this year & if I do, then also to PLI & from there up the Inland Passage to Warm Springs Bay on the East Coast of Baranof Island. If that should happen, anyone choosing to follow me, would be wise as Colby says “to...

Wishing all a Merry Christmas from Jay & JoLee

Jody has a Suzuki 140 on his CD22 “Voyager”. He runs heavy & often at high altitude, so it works well for hm. Jay

I’ve made 10 extended cruises in SE Alaska with our CD22 in varied durations from a month to three months. The food was pretty much stashed throughout the boat with its weight & bulk determining where. On one trip, I weighed all the food items & it was 400 pounds. This mostly was of bulk...

We’ve towed a variety of different dinghies behind our 22 cruiser over the last 22 boating seasons for over 10,000 miles & thousands more miles mounted on the cabin. Yes, you have to be conscious of its being towed in evaluating your daily/hourly sea conditions, but in all those miles, I’ve...

I for one, sure thought & from experience knew the old Wallas 95 was vulnerable, but the Wallas 85 has over the last 12 years & thousands of operational hours proved itself in all conditions to be extremely reliable for me. How it distributes heat & the slow start up for heat & cooking is a draw...

Colby, you’re racking the trailering miles up at a faster pace per year than me. This year it was 7671 miles. We’ve had the HunkyDory now for 22 seasons & have used two trailers. The first a EZ loader single axle with surge brakes, we trailered for 38,605 miles. This trailer made several early...

This is kind of a strange thread for me to read, as I’ve had more than my share of Wallas issues with the old Wallas model 95, but I’ve never experienced, the Wallas having operational problems, caused by cruising fast on plane & didn’t realize it could happen. I think possibly this was due to...

Colby, thank you for sharing this cruise with all the photos & video. I’ve followed Bill’s Inreach too & the combination almost puts you there with the group. We hope to see you & Bill next year either in Washington or Alaska or even possibly both. Jay
