Gary, thanks again this year for all the details! Colby, your Princess post here is indeed sufficient, and I'll add you to the list. Super glad you're along. Brock

Thanks for pointing us to your 2022 Princess Louisa photos, Randy. They're fabulous, and only increase my desire to visit. And your Calvert Island photos are really stunning. Dock Holiday, it'll be good to see you and your beautiful new boat again. Glad you can make it. Colby, that is one...

Hey, thanks for the signup sheet, Mike.

Roger, good to hear from you, and thank you for sharing your four day experience to Princess Louisa. I appreciate that perspective, and it reminds me of my frequent 100 mile days in 16' Bambina. Though you were in a Tomcat, that actually emboldens me because this journey's been a few decades...

Real good, Colby. Ssobol, you're right, it is quite a jaunt, and five days would be a stretch. Two days up, one day there, two days back doesn't sound very realistic--or relaxing! Not to mention, there's mercurial Strait Of Georgia lurking to possibly spoil any plans we think we can carry...

And Wild Blue Jim, boat or no boat, I'm one feller who's glad that you continue to check in here! Tyboo Mike, just one more year? Fine, then, that just means I'm going to turn up the heat to get you up here for a cruise in the Salish Sea one more time before selling her. (The boat).

Steve, great to hear you and Joanie are onboard! You guide for food, you say? You bet, if I can remember my way there. I'll just follow somebody else, and you follow me... ssobol, you bring up a good question, and my answer at this writing is I don't know. I was thinking five days, for what...

Hey, 2023 Friday Harbor attendees, plans are being formed for a post-gathering flotilla to Princess Louisa Inlet! Jeff and Dianne, formally with Ripple, initiated what I think is a fantastic idea. I've been there only twice since 1972, last visit 1996, so I have to go. We can't know what kind...

Thank you, Bob, and my best to you and your family in 2023. All of us appreciate you so much for all the very useful information and experience you've shared for years with newbies and long-timers alike. Too, a healthy and happy New Year to all C-Brats. I'm glad you're here.

daninPA, thanks for Fleming's video link of Venture's Southeastern Alaska rediscovery tour. I'm binge watching this thing like last year with Succession on Netflix. I gotta get to bed, but damn, Fleming is an absolute pro at chronicling his adventures. His pace, tone, and use of drone have...

Dang, Ruthie and Joe, I'm away from C-Brats a few weeks and now this! All I require is two things: Make sure the new owners promise to take really good care of R-Matey, and for sure don't stay away from all your C-pals just because you don't have a C-Dory! (Actually, there's too many of us...

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that Roger has died. I haven't checked into our great website since November 5th, when, oddly enough, I read a PM reply Roger had sent me. In late October I had PM'd him to say that Pan-A-C'Ya Steve and I were at Wallace Island (Canadian Gulf Islands) a few weeks...

Hey, Byrdman, did you do that cruise last weekend? Croakz' Blake Island suggestion is spot on. I take one or two trips from Anacortes to Blake (or Olympia) every year and very much enjoy that run. (Though Saratoga can be a snarky SOB).

Pretty special photos, Mike. Thanks for sharing them.

Peter and Judy, it would be great to meet you. And Colby, hope you can make it as well.

What a trip, Jay! Thank you for sharing your journey throughout one of the most beautiful places in the world. Once again, you served up a summer's worth of education and entertainment. What an achievement.

What a journey! Have fun and keep us updated.

Our gathering is now more than a week past, and I'll long remember the events and conversations we shared. We began these group cruises in 2001, and without exception they've all been fun. Even the pre-GPS time I got lost in the fog in 2003. The weather hasn't always cooperated--witness May...

Andrew, I sure enjoyed meeting and talking with you and your little skipper Leo these two days. I wish the weather was better today because normally we’d feature a smorgasbord of various models and customizations on Thursday. I was telling Jeff and Diane that I hope Andrew and his wife do get a...

Good to have you two new guys on board. Stay tuned, there's a wealth of information about C-Dory's and much else on this great site. :idea
