I'm in. Cathlamet is my homeport of sorts. I remember that several years ago there was a gathering at the marina. That sort of rekindled my desire to own a C-Dory. I bought one not too long after that gathering. Been enjoying it ever since on the lower Columbia. Easter, or the weekend...

Several weeks ago a 22 C-Dory showed up in the Elochoman Marina in Cathlamet, WA on the lower Columbia. Her name is C-Nile and she is equipped with twin 40s, a grey shear stripe, and a very nice grey cockpit cover. Haven't been able to determine who belongs to her as of yet. She increases the...

If you have the time and don't mind a launch site north of the Los Angeles basin, I would recommend the Channel Islands. Launch out of Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard or Ventura Harbor in Ventura and visit the wonders of Anacapa or Santa Cruz Islands. The 18-23 mile crossing(depending on...

Not too far from Puget Island. Once you close the deal on your C-Dory be sure to take a cruise down River and visit the Elochoman Marina in Cathlamet. There are a couple of us C-Dory owners hanging out down here - a 25' and a 22'. Good luck with the boat.

Where are you located on the lower Columbia? The C-Dory is a great boat for the conditions encountered around here.

Congrats on your retirement and move north from Camarillo. My wife and I lived in Camarillo for 15 years before retiring from the U.S. Navy and moving back north. We have made the trip north many times at different times of the year. The sage advice from pretty much everyone who has responded...

Sure appreciate the update. The info is all there in one location! My wife was mentioning the other day that our supply of the tasty little critters in the freezer was getting to a critically low mass and that I should get out there and do some more clamming. Anyone out there have a special...

My name is Allen and I am a boataholic. My first boat was a Styrofoam Snark sailboat that my uncle got by smoking enough Kool cigarettes and saving the trading coupons attached to the packs. It sported a sail with the Kool cigarettes logo. It took two seasons of abuse by me and may friends on...

Here on Puget Island on the Lower Columbia the snow that fell earlier in the week has all melted and the rain is falling pretty fast. I live within 150 feet of the mighty Columbia and am keeping an eye on the level. Lots of standing water in many places on the island. The majority of the...

Dave, Thanks for the invite. I'd really like to be able to attend and meet other C-Dory owners and continue my learning experience, but unfortunately, work has me traveling for the week prior and the weekend of the Seattle Boat Show. Allen

It was one of those rare winter days in southwest Washington state on the lower Columbia River when the clouds clear and the sun shines all day. The temperature was 54 degrees at 1:00 pm, the wind was almost non-existent, and the river was almost like a pond. It was the perfect setting for the...

Congratulations! Your new boat looks great. Is that the Ventura sales office of Catalina Yacht Anchorage in the background? It looks familiar. I spent many a day drooling over the new C-Dories that they had on trailers in their parking lot when I lived in Ventura County. You're gonna love...
