Jim and Ann. I always wanted to have a cruise to Nantucket. The problem is they all stick their hand out. I will see if it can be done at a reasonable cost. One thing in our favor. You can hang on a hook out at anchor if your boat is less than 30 feet long. Dun, Wakeup call was the Right...

Greatman, great actor. He gave back more than he took. God Bless him, and his family. Fred

Hi Folks, As soon as I get back to Hingham in October, I will get starting on the Boston Harbor Cruise Planning, where we can go, dock etc. I have heard that the "RANGERS" on the Islands might be a problem if we don't give them a heads up. Might have to call on the government reps. Fred

Jim, Welcome aboard. I hope the survey works for you. You are right. One cruise I always wanted to take would to leave Nantucket on the 15th of August, go to Hadleys Harbor, Cuttyhunk, Block Island, and Long Island, cut through to the south coast of Long Island and end up in New York City...

Hi Folks, Having a year of USCG Auxiliary Patrolling and a Medical Wakeup Call, I have decided that I will go on cruises in 2009, preferably with other C-Dory boaters, or alone if I must. Here is my Ideas. May- Boston Harbor. I have a mooring and contacts in Hingham/Weymouth area. I figure...

Sneaks, I like your humor. Has anybody heard the roomer that STDs are on the rise at the Villages in Florida? Fred

Hi Folks, I also have hearing aids. Best thing about them. You can turn them off. Another thought on being a Senior. Do not mistake the young chicks being nice to you. It is not that you are cool or cute. It is because you are old. Fred

Here is one. Duncan Donuts, 10%. Have to ask for it. Kentucky Fried Chicken. Some sort of Senior discount. McDonalds. Half priced coffee or drink. You can get a lunch at MacDonalds for less than two bucks. Order off the Dollar menu and get a senior citizen drink. Remember Charlie and the...

Hi Folks, I have a 1983 22' C-Dory. In order to become an Auxiliary OpFac I had to put plates behind my cleats. I think this rule is left over from wood boats in that the fiberglass is plenty strong in its self to hold any tow I might do. I have two towing eyes on my aft deck to secure the...

Hi Folks, While all this crap is going on, I have my little Inn going on Nantucket. Sheila and I are having a good year. So good that Sheila can not see why I want to sell.(Maybe something to do with all the stories of people cruising with their C-Dory's.) The bank I deal with is called...

"IT" is the boat. Fred

Addition. I have found that I can add a seat that sits on the dinette table for the pilot to sit. In order to do this, you have to secure the table leg so it will not come out. It takes my previous 200# without any problem. Fred

Hi Folks, The pre 1986 22' C-Dory, which I own, has the whole port side of the cabin by the bunk area open because the boats had a smaller cabin, so the forward seat of the dinette was the aft of the port bunk. The most comfortable place to read is at that spot. You have full seating room and...

Hi Folks, I don't have any play in my 700. The only thing that happens is that the line sometimes jumps off the spindle and I have to go forward to put it back. I think it is related to the clumps of the harbor bottom I sometimes bring up. I have togo forward to clean the anchor. I have a...

Thank you folks. Fred

Hi Folks, Need a little help. My Hull Number is 221210483. I figure the 22 is the length. The 83 is the year. How do you read the numbers in between? Fred

Good idea, I never thought of it. Fred

John and Laurie, You have taken the idea of boat ownership to where it should be. Start with a basic boat and make a comfortable "home on the water" nice job and great ideas. Fred

Hi Folks, I think it would be a big seller if it had sliding doors so you can get on the deck from the helmsman and pilot's seat. Other than that, it's a long way from helm to bow when you are picking up a mooring or sailing alone which many of us do. Fred

Hi Folks, This is a good topic. Just this last week I had an example of what can happen on Massachusett's waters where we do not have licencing.( New Hampshire, Connectuit, and I think Rhode Island have it, simply taking the basic Boating Safety course and passing the test.) I was boating in...
