Heads Up! Off northeast Florida now and is predicted to move northerly up the east coast all week long. Be prudent and stay tucked inside if you are thinking of any boating along that area in the next 5 days or so. Bill F

We paddled a double kayak down the Upper Missouri for 2 ½ months -- marvelous trip. Had a sail for the lakes and camped ashore at night. Then took our c-d down the lower Missouri some years later. A fine cruise. Also came down the Columbia from headwater lakes in BC to the ocean. Another...

PME - Welcome to the gang -- sure great to have a Kiwi aboard. The c-dory should be a good fit for you, We had suggested, years ago, to the c-dory owners, that if they shipped a c-dory to NZ we would live on it there, show it off to anyone interested, and if they set up a dealer we'd...

He guided us through through his excellent cruising books on our many voyages along the southeast coast. We are indebted to him for many fine experiences El and I shared through his knowledge and fine writing. Farewell.

I found my best friend when I met El -- and we have been best friends ever since. What a marvelous 55 years we have shared. We're lucky, Roger, to have such wonderful companions with whom to share our lives.

Congratulations on the new member to your family. You are in for an adventure. El and Bill

We belonged to a yacht club for most of our years of boating. The membership came from the entire state -- no clubhouse or facilities -- so virtually no expense -- cost $5.00 a year for membership back then. Had great meetings eating our together at fine buffets on the Vegas strip, and...

Each couple makes their personal choice. We lived first four years of retirement when in No. America in a 20' RV -- she took us over 30,000 miles all over the continent - Key West to Prudhoe Bay, Newfoundland to Baja CA. Delightful -- traveled with the seasons. Then moved aboard a 20"...

Here's a quick sample from our website to introduce you to our introduction to the C-Dory world. For us, it was not a decision about a day trip boat or a weekend fishing boat, but for a boat suitable for extensive cruising. This may not be what you have in mind. But, here's a view of the...

Just a suggestion: On our website describing many locations for cruising experiences in North America, we have access points listed where we initiated our cruise. This is not a list of all access points to individual cruising sites, but might be helpful for those considering a...

Jonathan - Great write-up -- thanks for sharing. A reminder -- one can do the Loop (or portions) many times. "It's the journey, not the destination." We have done it (and portions) many times -- both on our 20' Pacific Seacraft Flicka and on our C-Dory. Life on the...

Sure is a beautiful tune, Pat. Thanks for sharing.

Good work, Pat. Ah, the wonderful times we have all shared with some really great folk. Your photos brought back floods of memories. We have sure been fortunate to have discovered the C-Dory and to be a part of the family since the earliest days. So great that we have had good site managers...

Thanks, Harvey. This site has lots of good advice, and not just about boating. Now, for us retired ones, we can just shuffle off to bed early without feeling guilty and (of course) sleep on in the a.m. if we remember to pull down the shade. We just finished driving a total of 24...

And for you folks on the upper left coast, look at the 'beauty' you have off your coast: http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wi ... 49.18,1832

Another polar vortex on the way for Brats in the mid-continent and northeast. Brace yourselves and have a warm jacket. Click on site below and drag the map to center on the Great Lakes - whoosh! http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wi ... 48.06,1832

The map depicts current wind conditions, when you log on. The swirls are generally centered on frontal systems -- the counterclockwise swirls are the lows, where cold air is descending and turning to the left due to the coriolis effect of earth's rotation, and the clockwise rotations are high...

A new way to show the wind -- beautiful map. Gives a regional view: http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wi ... ,33.42,709[/code]
