    Hey, Problemadela Rob, we should have a rendezvous in Oro Bay some day. Nisqually Reach and that whole area is beautiful. Hobbes is just a few miles south, you're just 'round the rock, and maybe some Oregon Brats would find an Olympia splash-in attractive. I've enjoyed the South Sound since '66...

    26’ Venture question.

    I find what Daybreak said to be true as well. My C-Dorys have dictated RPM's, and I obey. I value comfort over speed. I throttle back and change my angle if necessary because I refuse to pound. Don't buy a C-Dory if it's frequently choppy and you want to be first to the fish. But she'll treat...

    Lost a Wonderful C-Brat today

    Byrdman, I'm sorry to hear that. I wish him well at this difficult time. Brock

    Sheltering in place and making sawdust.

    Bud, that's beautiful. They both are. And I'm sorry for your loss of Louie, your Golden Boy. Two years later I still miss my Buster cat. He was my Buster buddy. :dog :cat

    Friday Harbor CBGT Planning

    Pat, that's my feeling as well, that the governor may well extend stay at home past May 4th. But I feel as does Tosca, that I'm in for regular scheduling and later this year if rescheduled. If you build it, I will come. :cat

    Yes, thanks, Harvey. Keith, your last name is Foote? No brainer, dude: Foote Loose. I plan on occupying a FH slip unless handcuffed at home, and I'm optimistic that the threat of COVID-19 will pass. Hopefully sooner than later. Nonetheless, this is a nasty virus that has killed thousands, hurt...

    New owner, longtime lurker

    That's really cool, Joe. I'm really happy for you, and I look forward to seeing you and your boat here and there in the Salish Sea. That's a really good feeling you're feeling. :cocktail

    Les Lampman Passed Away

    I'm just speechless to hear that completely unexpected news. Nonetheless, thank you for letting us know, Dora~Jean. I had hoped to see and talk to him at a future date, maybe when he returned to visit, or live. I just find that so hard to believe, and I feel so sorry for his family--and the...

    George, your Stella Blue will be a rare addition. Maybe others can, but I can't recall the last time a 26' Venture or Cape Cruiser joined us for a group gig. Prepare to be inspected! :thup

    I need to replace icebox on my 22ft 1999 Cruiser

    I imagine we also can agree with B~C.

    Harvey, thank you for contacting NMI and setting that up. And boat stuff! Who doesn't need more boat stuff? Daybreak, I haven't launched at Brownsville, but I've stayed there overnight several times over the years. My impression always was positive.

    A great day for a boat ride

    Tyboo, that's the exact top speed I reached in my 23' Venture. :hot

    A Friday Harbor fix. Steve, I like that. I needed one a few weeks ago so I walked on the FH ferry to hang out with Popeye and various aviary critters. Not many people on that very windy, cloudy day. But Friday's fun any time of year. Jeff and Diane, happy you can come again this year. Jeff will...

    A great day for a boat ride

    Mike, I spent more than a few minutes daydreaming about a cruise yesterday. Sunny until about 3 p.m. in Seattle, birds chirping, and a hint of spring. I'm really glad you two could get out on the water for a day trip. Looking at your photos and text is a nice consolation for being land bound...

    NARROW BOATS

    Mark, what an unforgettable way to see France. And you had bicycles that afforded you broader range of exploration by land. Outstanding.

    C-Brat Wanna-be to C-Brat New-be

    Yes we do, Harvey, and yes you are a tad biased--but we like you lots nonetheless. Hey, Karl, way to go. You've got a lot of fun waiting for you. Let us know how your shakedown cruise goes, and we'll look for you in mid-May! :peace:

    Man, I'm liking the FH enthusiasm here. And Ripple, sure good to know you'll have some time to get up here and explore with your beautiful blue 25. I have a feeling we'll have future cruises together with Harvey, and others, after we retire. One point: I believe Ranger set the record last year...

    I bought a boat! (not C-Dory)

    Relieved to learn I'm not the only one to look around to see if wedding parties or Youtubers are amused by my bloopers. Hey, Mark, I also want to congratulate you for your latest family member. That's one eye-catching, classy craft, and I wish you both years of delightful cruises. That style...

    Observations on my non C-Dory Trawler

    David, thanks for sharing all that information about your Pompano 23, and your practices and procedures. That sounds like a sweet little craft, and I bet you have large fun cruising and exploring your favorite waterway. I'm a long way away up here in Seattle, but most everything you shared more...
