Now let me get this straight....a 28 foot boat powered by a 30HP engine???

....and then there's the matter of picking it up in Sitka.

I'll cast my vote for ocean going tugs...and they're worse if they're not pulling anything.

The Honda 2 HP is good for mixing margaritas. As for furnishing aux power for a CD-22.....if the 22 was powered by a 50 HP 2 stroke with 3 gallons of fuel onboard, no baggage/gear and driven by a 5 year old child your chances of making headway in anything but a bathtub would be fair to middling.

The shipyards at Alang recycle approximately half of all ships salvaged around the world. The yards are located on the Gulf of Khambat, 50 kilometres southeast of Bhavnagar. Large supertankers, car ferries, container ships, and a dwindling number of ocean liners are beached during high tide, and...

Moorage space is never a problem at Cathlamet. The facilities (showers, restrooms and eating area) are excellent. The town is only a 2-3 block walk away. There are many good side trips to be taken within 15 miles of the marina including the route through the Clifton and Prairie channels to...

I would be interested if you'd allow non C-Dory Brats. I have kept my boat there every July - Sept since 2005. Plus, it would be good to see you again, Ken. I thought you had passed away.....

Don't be in a hurry to outfit your boat. Your perspective and priorities will change as you use it. There is a real 'vibe' to owning and operating a C-Dory and you can't get it no matter how many posts you read here or how many rides you get on someone else's boat. The very fact that you chose a...

What he (C-ness) said.

Story reported by an English guy who was stopped and asked to give a breathalyzer test. The English guy lives near Le Bugue in the Dordogne and at the time he was stopped he was three sheets to the wind... The gendarme signals to him to wind down the window then asks him if he has been drinking...

Single-handed through the Columbia River locks....no problem. Use large fenders and have a knife on hand in case the bollard sticks (rare) and you have to cut the line.

OK....here goes... 1. Desert Solitaire - Edward Abbey 2. Lonesome Dove – Larry McMurtry 3. Arabian Sands - Wilfred Thesiger 4. Undaunted Courage - Stepen Ambrose 5. American Caesar - William Manchester 6. My Old Man And The Sea – David and Daniel Hays 7. Charlie Wilson’s War – George Krile 8...

Joe, I believe that video was taken in NZ. Here's one for docking practice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOlI0gp8zGU

My vote is for a windlass. Inland waters have more mud than offshore. Save your back for other things.

How long does Stabil maintain its effectiveness? Not Stabil mixed with gas/diesel but Stabil by itself?

From boat washing to paper route (even throwing in a Lee Marvin and a Clint Esatwood).....pretty good job, Ken.

The saddest fact of getting into most boating endeavors is that you have to buy a boat to do it. Rental options are poor, especially for C-Dorys. So you end up on a steep learning curve hoping your inexperience won't intersect with disaster too quickly. This site does a remarkable job of...
