Thorne, I remember you mentioning that in another post and wondered you'd be doing in Met? It's funny, but in 27 years I've never gone there. No particular reason to, though I camp at Bostwick Bay and watch their 'city' lights at night. And by 'trailering' you mean loading on the POW ferry to...

A cover for the boat is a good idea, not to cut down on gawking specifically, but we get 13 feet of rain annually which really is hard on boats! I don't mind attention to the boat, but no one better troll over to talk about it while I'm reeling in the derby winning King! Jackie

In my possession; that's a step closer to launch.

Thought I'd share that I picked up my boat from the barge last evening and towed it to a co-workers lot. My grandson, whom I'm watching while his folks are out of town, helped me. But he's not even three so I'm counting this as my first solo adventure. It was an adventure because when my...

Next lesson will be on what not to touch.

Watch your head!

My first mate helped!

Harvey, thanks for the BoatUS tip. It was fun looking through the names. I remember the first time I saw a boat named Aquaholic; I thought that was so clever. There are a lot of clever ones there, and some I'd be downright embarrassed to have on my boat! I'd never hear the end of it at school...

Well, I was waiting for someone else to answer that, but since no one is I'll say, no, I don't know the exact yardage off the top of my head. But....I have re-upholstered all the cushions and seats in both a CD 22 and an older Bayliner. It really isn't that difficult to do yourself. The...

Thanks for all the good wishes. The boat is set to ship from Seattle next Wednesday, barring unexpected events. Friday at the latest. I should be on the water in two weekends! I'll take a (non-binding, advisory only) vote of the family to see if we want to change the name. You are right...

Toast Neptune when crossing the equater. Never go to sea on a Friday. Never sail with a woman onboard. Never change a boat name. Bridma...I never even heard those superstitions, except the name change. I don't know that I'll ever be crossing the equator, but I'm all for toasting, so that's ok...

Here, I hope, is a shot of my new baby! All spic n' span.

My new boat!

Doesn\'t that interior look like new?

You are right, Sunbeam, it's hard to wait. Especially when I look out the window and see beautiful water like in your photos. We have had some great days here lately. One of my co-workers caught two keeper kings, three shakers, and an accidental halibut this weekend. It was like a little...

Thataway, thanks for the info; I'll do that. Westward, I had been following that thread on the internal anodes. The engine only shows 10 hrs 38 minutes on the counter. The anodes would deteriorate in the saltwater, right? I did wonder about them, but would sitting in a garage for years...

I posted a while ago on the C-dory Wanted forum and thought I'd update to say: I found one! I was going to wait til I had it in my possession and could post a picture before announcing, but I got too excited! It is a 2008 16 cruiser like new that I found in Port Orchard, WA. I was trying...

Hey, thanks for sharing that! It was pretty cool last year when the boats started coming in. Especially the last one; there was a big whoop-t-do when they finally made it. I don't remember exactly how much later they came in than the others, but it was quite a while and everyone turned out to...

I saw that on Craigslist. It looks lovely. I don't know what to look for, but you could probably get a surveyor to go over it quickly. I'm in Ketchikan and I sold my 22 to a man from Anchorage four years ago. He hired a local surveyor to come take a look for reassurance. It has been running...
