Hi Folks, Thanks for the Info on printable charts. This is one of the reasons the C-Dory Internet Site is great. Fred

Bill and El, You are BRAVE SOULS. I would not go near that area of the world without the Sixth Fleet as an escort. Good Luck. Fred

Hi Folks, Great adventure. That is what C-Dory's are all about. Fred

This guy is right on it. I have eaten both farm raised and wild salmon. To tell you the truth, I like the taste of farm raised over wild, but the farm raised has almost no food value. The wild is much better for you. Mostly we eat the wild salmon. Fred

Hi Folks, I had a scary moment this summer when I was out in Nantucket Harbour with my Grand Daughter. She was at the helm and kind of learning to Steer the 22' C-Dory. It was like a snake was following us. I happened to look back and saw a boat "screaming" along and coming close to our...

Welcome. Best boating group in the world. If you are boating the Mississippi River, I read an interesting book, OLD GLORY by Jonathan Rabin. He did a voyage on the Mississippi in a 14' boat. He is English, so he tells it like it is. It is a Random House, paperback book. Once you get into it...

Lemar 700. About $600.00 Very good. Fred

PROGRESS. I had a talk with some of the people in Hingham. The best time for the meet would be before May 15th. One of the Launch Services will cooperate with us. As I see it, we could start on Wednesday for some and do the Charles River and/or the Mystic River. The next day we could do the...

Hi Folks, I agree with SeaWolf. Elections over. Didn't go my way. Who Cares. Back to boating. Today I am going to make my list of winter projects and work on a Hingham/Boston Harbor C-Dory get-to-gether. Fred

Just to be nosey, How much fuel did you use for the 6000 mile shakedown cruise of the trailer? Also what did it cost you? Fred

Last Sunday I read that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has to cut spending by about 2.5 Billion because they can not borrow the money, and the revenues are down. That is good news. The bad news is that the good people will be cut, the loafs will stay. Usually the way it is. Fred

An inflatable Life jacket is comfortable. If you have a comfortable life jacket, you will wear it all the time when you are boating. If you life jacket is not comfortable you will not wear it. Enough said. Fred

Hi Folks, I just remembered a story that happened in my early twenties. My brother and I were off the North River off Scituate Mass. The visibility was not the best. A boat came out of the mist and asked where they were. The pulled out a car map. They wanted to know how to reach Boston, some 30...

Hi Folks, This does not surprise me at all. I use to patrol the Nantucket Docks offering FREE VESSEL INSPECTIONS. Benefits is that the State Environmental Boat will not stop you for an equipment check. Most were not interested. Those are the ones who get into trouble. We can not get the...

Bumper sticker. Obama is to taxpayers as Col. Sanders is to chickens.

Where is George Bailey when we need him? Fred

El and Bill, Would love to have you back East. I now go to Heart School three times a week. I lost about 15#. Got about 10 to go. Eating much better. Still have to stay on my toes. I went off Island last week and attended a wake of a very healthy guy who was still working and playing a lot...

Sounds like a great idea. Work on it. I heard once that a sailer had sailed into Star Island off season only to be met by a caretaker who would not let him land. I hope things have gotten better. Fred

There is presently in court in Maine about the same type of accident. It seems that all are alcohol related. The states are finally getting around to doing something about it, and throwing the book at the idiots. as they say, "Safe boating is no accident." Fred

Thank you for caring. Pat, I will keep the prayers coming. Are you in for a transplant. If so, I have a great story for you. Fred
