I am considering mounting a board in C-Gypsy on which I will mount several 12V "cigarette lighter" adapters. My cell phone, my girl's cell phone, my handheld GPS & my handheld marine radio all use "cigarette lighter" adapters to recharge. I am wondering if anyone else has already done this, no...

Tracy ~ I plan to be at the gathering. I bought my boat from Gene & Carrie and could not be happier with my decision. What delightful people! I have a slip in Oriental so will not need one at Whittaker Point. There are several B&B's in Oriental, but they are small. If anyone is looking for a...

I'll race you Joe! Right now my Nor'Sea 27 sailboat is on the hard for hurricane season. When I splash her I'll be more than happy to race. Of course I want a 2 day head start, and when you pass by you have to throw me a beer. Al

It will not end. Ever. On the other hand I am very happy with my Honda 90. It's all about the quiet and enjoying life. Some people just don't get it, eh?

I am looking for opinions. Should get plenty of those! How do the GPS units work on a C-Dory that have internal antennas? I like the idea of the internal antenna (less complicated), but want a GPS that WORKS! Thanks, Al

I just completed the survey. I respect the factory's efforts and their willingness to open themselves up to potentially nasty answers. I am very pleased with my C-Dory 22 Cruiser, and even more pleased with my dealer (Mobile East Marine). Perhaps C-Dory should have added two questions... Which...

Jim & Sandy, You must be referring to Mobile East Marine in Alliance. Gene and Carrie are OUTSTANDING people! That is where I purchased C-Gypsy. I must make a quick run back to PA today for several days of Consistory meetings followed by a weekend at Langford Bay. Will let you know the next...

As a sailor & a C-Dory owner I have had my share of incidents with idiots. I remember a few years back sailing on a lake beside another sailboat. We were about 50 feet apart and the women were enjoying a lengthy conversation about whatever it is women talk about (I try not to listen). It was a...

Saw a C-Dory yesterday on 66 West as I was heading to Oriental, NC (I was on 66 East). Believe the boat name to be QT. Nice looking rig!

I started this thread a long time ago never expecting so many people to respond. My brother-in-law & I will be sailing in the Caribbean with some friends from Europe from April 28th until May 5th. You folks are the experts. When you finally decide on a date to leave port please let me know. My...

Just did a Royal Caribbearn cruise from Baltimore to Mexico (and back). Talk about fun! Now I am trying to figure out where to mount a slot machine on C-Gypsy! The buffets damn near killed me though. Only needed one ticket to get on but thought I might need two tickets to get back off. :mrgreen:

A friend of mine is a delivery boat captain & a sailing instructor. He knows the Bahamas fairly well, so I will ask him his thoughts on the best time to go. Beyond that here are my thoughts... November is out because I am tied up with business. Yes, some of us still work for a living. And yes...

My brother-in-law and I are seriously considering a trip to the Bahamas once hurricane season is over. Any advice from those who have made the voyage will be greatly appreciated. Thought about taking my sailboat but have an urge to run C-Gypsy down. Besides, once we are there C-Gypsy will be...

When my sailboat was in a slip in Florida a diver cleaned the hull every month. Sea Wolf is right, get it pressure washed IMMEDIATELY upon retrieving. Even 3 or 4 hours seems to make a difference, and if it dries you will spend a lot of time and get sore hands cleaning the bottom. Been...

I started diving in 1984 & my son is a SCUBA instructor for Penn State University and Juniata College. He also runs a dive shop here in PA. Right now he & his wife are in the Bahamas. An email I received from him a few hours ago says, "Out of all the places I’ve been, Half Moon Cay is the most...

I read it is possible to use the S1000 with a handheld GPS. What model GPS unit do you folks use? Anyone using it with a handheld? Al

While not a liveaboard (yet!), I use a Treo 650 cell phone with Sprint service. It interfaces with my laptop via a USB cable to provide Internet access on my laptop anywhere I have Sprint coverage. The Treo has the advantage of being a PDA & a cell phone so I am able to get a lot of use out of...

Spent the day on C-Gypsy (yes, I changed the spelling of the name!) with some friends. We were on Lake Raystown in Pennsylvania. Not a big lake by any measure, but here in PA we are sort of land locked. In any case on the way back to the launch ramp at the end of the day we spotted another...

Thanks Jack. I did some measuring yesterday and found that the ball on my truck is 21" off the ground. I thought it should be between 18 - 19 inches, so I lowered the front of the trailer to 18" and sure enough the trailer is level. This morning I ordered a hitch for my truck with enough of a...

Tom, Perhaps "loading up" was the wrong terminology to use. The motor simply sputters when I try to give it gas after idleing for an extended period. I have seen this before with Honda 4 stroke motors (two Honda 3-wheelers). Not sure what causes it, but in any case it is getting better as I...
