All, As we have Bob at the top of the posting list and now I notice that here is a "Poll" which I did not even know existed as a site function (learn something everyday the old dog does); why not just pick a time/day for the first meeting, send out the invite a day or two early to short...

Great idea. We are deep into Zoom Territory, as in five or six a week at a minimum. With the security updates I see no issues. We have had not a single hack or ZoomBomb go off at our meetings. There is a bit of digital culture to catch such as muting your audio feed, using Chat to save talk...

The longer the thread, the greater the chance that there will be flaming. The longer the shut down, the grumpier some of us get. The longer the line anywhere, the less likely I will stand in it. The higher the price of a C-Dory, the more comments about $$$$$ The lower the price of a C-Dory, the...

Have you noticed that the for sale listings of C-Dories has really slowed up? Guess they are like gold in hard times and then it is not easy to sell a luxury (for some but a necessity for others) a C-22 or C-25 when folks are "hunkered down". Bob

Find a 22 I can afford - local or I will never pull the trigger. Buy the boat. Enjoy the boat and the C-BRATS. Skip all else but be sane, sober and safe! Bob

We have a home in California which we will not return to till this is over. Our home here in Boulder City near LV is seeing huge consequences of the virus. The economy is taking a giant hit, the casinos are closing one after another and of course school districts are closed. I suggest that if...

Les and I shared thoughts on how to modify the Marinaut over time so that those with disabilities could still boat. He really cared about how to accomplish a low return design concept if it met the needs of even one or two boaters. Looks like some of our boat will outlast us! Bob

I use one of those little single burner butane stoves, two different 1 lb bottle propane stoves, several DIY alcohol stoves, two white gas stoves (MSR and Coleman) but the Queen of the House is my Bremer Sea Swing that uses the one pound bottles is fully gambled (and is movable from mount to...

I follow several narrow boat VLOGS. Cruising the Cut is great as is Foxes Afloat (really good video), and Journey with Jono (my favorite boat dog on this one). I find that YouTube does for me what TV never did, I get to actually interact with the sites/owenrs, often they reply to posts quickly...

Once had a boat partner blow the top off the 35 gallon holding tank in our Cape Dory 36 by using the dump pump with the valves closed. He also kicked the inlet hose from the head off and the bilge never did smell right from then on out, even after the use of many applications of exotic chemicals...

Well I have been a forum member for well before Jim and Joan went to the dark side of no C-Dory/but rather Pontoon Boating (their site is another must read - I am so addicted) and I have figured out that I may never own a C-Dory but I hope that I may be a C-Brat till they dip the flag for...

Hey Jim, no current pics in the Album!!! I think we can handle a shot or three of cats, scoots, and pontoon craft. Bob

You have to be close to the Texas Tip to buy from Jim and Joan, when they are ready for a change, it is like a Padre Island lightning bolt - ZAP. Just kidding, if you follow their blog you will see what great care all their "toys" get (to say nothing of Cat Care). Glad that Jim is on the full...

Will is a great YouTub artist. His video is a breath of fresh air, he is always so excited to share and the content is good stuff. Here is another shot at his YouTube library:https://www.youtube.com/user/errolprowse/videos Bob Jarrard PS: Here is another boating site, Journey with Jono, which...

Harvey, Enjoy and be sure to post some pics!!! Bob

OOPS - forgot Yammie Ring Free which many boaters use. Bob

I do not disagree on what others may do, I would add Caro syrup to my fuel if I thought it might help even a bit. Lots of folks I know use Techron, Mercury Quikstor, Star Tron, Sea Foam, Biobor, Lucas, AMSOIL, and Marvel. I think some may use all of these at once and just skip the gasoline. I am...

If I have any doubts, I pump or more often siphon, into my car or my small engines gas tanks. That being said, empty steel tanks rust, lost a very expensive Ducati tank that way. I would empty plastic/fiberglass tanks, especially if I could get in and clean them out 100%. Steel or aluminum I...
