And, a reminder, take your time and enjoy the natural world, the new friends, and the nation's history.

I am enjoying re-reading our Halcyon Days website. It was written in coves during our years living aboard our C-Dory. We wrote it primarily for folks wondering about living aboard and cruising distances with their C-Dory. You can click on it below. Now that we have transitioned ashore...

Lightening! You will have warning from weather radio or clouds before the arrival of an electrical storm. Our immediate reaction to an approaching storm -- we either tied at a marina and got off the boat and into a protected place, or if that wasn't possible, we anchored in a cove where...

The best advice for folks starting a Great Loop (In our opinion): TAKE YOUR TIME!! You will enjoy your cruise and see so much more if you simply SLOW DOWN! See the side channels, circumnavigate NYC, dock at the Statue of Liberty, visit West Point, go...

A suggestion - bring along a simple field guide to the birds of the eastern US. The Okeechobee, for starters, is full of great birds in the Springtime, and a knowledge of the birds you will be seeing and 'camping' with will add to the pleasure of your cruise.

Happy New Year, all. Enjoy some great boating in the New Year.

Harvey - I tried to edit a post I made, to correct one letter, and it repeated my post three times on the site. I thought I goofed but then also noted, like Harvey, that others had duplicates. Maybe a problem.

Merry Christmas! El and Bill

Whew! Prayers answered, and thanks to a great cardiologist. Great to have you back on board and looking forward to continued fine boating information from you.

We lived in the southwest before, during, and since the construction of Glen Canyon Dam. El and I canoed the Glen Canyon of the Colorado river, before the dam. We saw the beauty of a canyon more impressive than the Grand Canyon. Sorry, we have run most all the canyons of the Colorado, and...

Dr. Bob - We've been 'cruising together' ever since we were C-Dogs together, over fifteen years ago, and how great it has been sharing C-Dogs and C-Brats with you. Your posts have been educational and interesting. The breadth of your boating knowledge and experience is incredible...

And a Happy Thanksgiving to you Jason, and all the great C-Brats. Many shared happy times for us to give thanks - best wishes to all.

Pat and Patty -- Yes, you'll have plenty of sunshine around the Loop. That will be a great trip for you good folks. And you will meet many sunny C-Dory smiles en route. Our best to you. -- El and Bill

Sun went out in the Pacific NW until sometime next Spring. Better have your batteries well-charged before cruising to Portland -- rain predicted for days down that way. Those roof-top solar chargers will give the raindrops a nice chuckle as they land on the wet surfaces. 🌨💧💦 😅

If you weren't a boating person, adding a sink to your head would sound like a tough anatomical operation. 😄

We all have fond memories of Sensei -- the new owner has a fine boat.

Harvey - such great experiences and thoughts. Thanks for sharing. You capture the essence of cruising.

Our very best wishes to Rich and the family. El and Bill

A special pleasure, for us, while in the cruising world, was the companionship. Here, disjunct from 'everyday' life, folks relax, enjoy and share. The duties and obligations of 'town life' are forgotten and chatting, laughing, and comments about the natural world surrounding us become the norm...
