    C-Dory Intracoastal Movies

    Most boats bypass the Weeki Wachee, Bayport, Crystal River, Inglis, etc., etc., etc. and I'm showing people who will take the time on the GL how to get into and navigate them. Nothing more than that. I've been taking boats up and down them for 40+ years on a private and commercial basis. All...

    Atlantic ICW

    I have done a similar run. If you want to use it as a simple highway, you can really cover ground. MM http://www.treasuresites.com

    C-Dory Intracoastal Movies

    Intracoastal - The Weeki Wachee River http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrOua3YP8Es There is a "high quality" in the lower right of the screen if you want to watch full-screen or in high quality in the little one. Nothing to do with the C-Dory but some may wish to have pointers on hog hunting...

    New Nordic Tugs 26 Announcement - A post from SENTOA

    You guys might want to take a deep breath and read this about Skipper: http://dringersoll.com/intro.html Never met him or Les L, but sounds as if cut from the same cloth.

    Is a C-Dory warranty any good

    I wouldn't think C-Dory is responsible, but you should have gotten a package of papers on purchase of all the subassemblies and their warrantees, of which the Teleflex info/warrantee should be found and the labor question is probably covered in the verbiage.

    Not Another Boat Topic

    That is exactly what the lapidary machine does, correct. Opals are done both ways, depending on the type of stone. You would need to take a course (many community colleges have them) or look up a local rock and gem club, or, seek out a gemstone cutter to give you the basics of cutting.

    Not Another Boat Topic

    Thanks, this is what they look like when cut: I have not cut any of mine yet, the main purpose of my trip was to learn how from a master cutter: Doyle Boyington, before he retires. That done, I have to set up my own "shop" -- actually, all that is needed is a small corner of a room/boat/RV...

    I have been out West shooting film, learning to cut gems, and having a blast. A few of you might be interested in some of them: Opals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1f442tacA6M Opals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DfrPyp9GV0 Fort Steele: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMvrhNFQRwc...

    DIESEL GETTING UGLY

    Agree on both parties. It's all just a game to them, and all you have to do is look to the "Energy Committee" as the "Energy Committee" is concerned with just about everything but energy even in this climate: http://energycommerce.house.gov/ Schedule for next week...

    Clean Boating Act of 2008

    Hopefully we would all comply as we did with the "mandatory" Coast Guard registration and sticker of years past: revolt, don't get one, don't send money, do nothing at all and they quickly backed down and rescinded legislation. Time for civil disobedience with some of this stuff.

    Boarded by the Coast Guard

    And that is the straight, non political, non horse-crap scoop. Now here's the straight scoop on how to avoid what you just saw from a guy who has operated everything from cropdusters to DC-10's, C-Dory's and everything else: Put your finger on the approaching target: if the target does not...

    Toll roads comming to WA State to Fight Global Warmig?

    Although I won't discount anything at this point, I certainly won't defend ELF either. To understand just how dangerous these nutjobs are: http://www.adl.org/Learn/Ext_US/Ecoterrorism.asp They are simply anarchists and killers.

    Toll roads comming to WA State to Fight Global Warmig?

    Big oil wins another round

    Understand your sentiment completely. But I have finally given up. If they want to starve themselves of energy, the very thing that makes up our civilization and freedoms, so be it -- I'm sick of fighting. I don't know if any of you have seen my films or not, but I have flown the entire...

    Big oil wins another round

    Could happen. No telling what they'll come up with to "save the planet." Of course, we can't drill a postage stamp piece of ANWR, can't drill the deep Gulf (even though Chevron found a field the size of Saudi's), can't drill off California, can't drill off Florida (although the Chinese are)...

    Mercury engines

    So the above article would take the 90 I have far longer than I thought it was built (possibly even to now). It would be worthwhile checking if you use the boat in skinny water (as I do). You can dang near trim a Mercury all the way out of the water and it still pumps coolant (one of the...
