We had a great time in Key West! We pulled out today and head up to Hontoon after a night at a suite onboard NAS Trumbo Point. It's all doable and you should do it! John

Pat gave us the very best advice on doing the Loop in a C-Dory...Take the historic Lachine Canal through Montreal rather than the awful Seaway Locks. Get your air draft down to under 8 feet. We did it by removing the radar dome, only 4 nuts and 2 quick disconnects, though awkward. Do it...

82 degrees and sunny again today, 43% humidity...another pool day! Thankfully the Coleman 15k BTU rooftop AC is blasting out cool air. Docktails on B Dock: Come on down, Safe Travels! John

Listen to Colby. I don't, but many years of experience here have shown that I should have. Good luck! John

Hi Rob, Unfortunately it's not that simple. 12V would require a lot more amps and heavier wiring back to the batteries etc etc. Running any resistance type heater or air conditioner off 12V is a fool’s errand (apologies to Fluid Motion). In 11 years of couples cruising on our TC255, we...

To us, the fatal, soul-killing, foul tasting, totally unacceptable, disgusting flaw is not the price. It’s an oversize at over 10 foot beam. Which means you need to obtain a separate temporary permit from EACH AND EVERY STATE DOT YOU EVER TRAVEL THROUGH, EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU TRAILER IT...
