There is a bit more to this--you can get a 2 year permit for not much more than a one year permit, and the two year permit allows unlimited entry. Also there is a requirement for AIS transceiver. It may have been revoked for a vessel less than 50 feet. Apparently this is currently under...

You are going to need substantial batteries to run that 12 V air conditioner. Start up load is 60 amps and run is 20 amps. If you go that way, add in the cost of LiFePO4 batterues, A minimum of 200 amp hours--preferably 400 amp hours. Then you have to charge the battery. An Easy Start will...

When using "Windy" remember that there are different models which are used and in some apps you can change the model. Some of those are more accurate than others. This is best on display when tracking hurricanes and predicting the path and wind velocity. We used to have to use the weather...

This looks like a nice clean boat for someone. The newer engine and electronics enhance its value.

The boat is assessed by an adjuster. The adjuster who covers our area is very sharp--sharper than many marine surveyors in our area. There is a limit to the "assessed value". In my case it was proofed by the bill of sale when I bought the boat. As for not insuring in any way, the age of...

I suspect a boat registered to another person, and the boat being nearly dead 60 years old for denying hull insurance. The liability--may also be on the same premises. I would suggest Boat US, Chubb, Charter Lakes, & State Farm as alternative insurances. I get my insurance through a insurance...

Please see my album for what we did with our Tom Cat. Most folks do not go to that extreme. I would at least build up the area around the cutout so it will be level, and not distort the cabin top when the AC sits on it. I do not know about your 23, but some Cdorys have a core in the center...

I looked at Wavve vs Aquq Maps and Navionics which I do use. I would not use Wavve. No maps in some areas like Lake Powell, not as detailed as either as above. I see some mistakes in our local waters. No Active Captain. For simpler and graphic/with Active Captain (dated) Aquamap...

My 5 mpg was at displacement speed. About half of that when on a plane. Overall for the trip: about1200 miles and average was about 3.5 mpg.

This iconic photo is emblazoned on my mind whenever I go thru a bar or pass. The boat is the 84' motor vessel Mojo, under charter to George C Scott. The date was January 28, 1978. There was an off shore winter storm. He "had to get to "Pebble Beach" to play in the "Bing Cosby open Golf...

Just curious as to what bottom paint you are using, now that the boat is in a slip? It certainly is more convenient. Just don't do a George C Scott, exit from the Morro Bay entrance!

We spent a week in that area, but we did not have our C Dory. The art shop owner near the waterfront is a C Dory owner and will have all of the info on boating there. There was heavy fog, and rain in late August, early Sept. to the extent that the Tour boat went out, and turned back giving a...

If you use cocks you will have to make a decision, if you are best served for lines going forward as in anchor or mooring bridles. Then different design chocks for bow lines and even different for spring lines, unless using the amid ships cleats as we do. Most of my boats in the last few years...

In normal circumstances one does not worry about chafing in most situations. It is when the line is in high tension, and the boat is working back and forth. The line begins to heat, and eventually fails. These are more likely during a hurricane or heavy storm. The C Dory is a very light...

Photos always help. I am intrigued how you have an enclosed head with holding tank in a C Dory 22. You must have given up the dinette. I know of one 22 where much of the port side was given to a "enclosed head".

I wonder how much chafe with a sharp angle around one of the sides of each chock. I have always used a bow cleat vs window cleats for a foreward line. From the forward mid ships cleat, this leaves another rope on deck to trip or roll an ankle over. That is why I use the 1/4 round SS rubbing...

There are all sorts of moorings. Some just a ring on the top of the float, some have a pickup, and you take that aboard, some have a "sand line" which goes to an aft cleat. Usually a nice 3 strand line from the forward cleat going off the bow on one side and back on the other is OK. It is...
