We agree. Makes no sense. We used a porta potti on our boat for years, always dumping at a marina.

Spot on, Roger. Before we had a C--Dory, in our early years of marriage, we had canoes. One for flat water and a C-2 for white water. We paddled rivers all over the country, and our three kids shared most of our vacation time (and we were both teachers) on the waterways in canoes. Great family...

Our bus died the year vw upped the bus horsepower to 55. Our failed bus was soon joined by many others in the scrap pile that year of vw engine failure. The company never claimed any responsibility for their engineering failure, much like their initial denial this year of their rigging...

Yep. Back in the mid-sixties. Engine broke down totally, even though only a few years old, on a drive in Newfoundland with couple of little kids aboard with us. Hauled away the muserable wreck and sold for scrap. Now, have a Toyota Tundra 189,000 miles and going along fine.

Pat - Rivers flow downstream. DRIFT! El and Bill

We often had 5 aboard overnight, for many nights, on our 22. No problem. We are a close, happy family, travel light (we were backpackers), and enjoyed the good times together. Ever family has different needs, so you judge the space needed by your family and its needs. Our advice.

We sold our house and moved aboard a 20' sailboat then aboard a 22' C-Dory. We lived on the water most of the time for more than a decade. Travelled the coasts, rivers and lakes of North America. Our young grandkids and their parents loved to come aboard and cruise with us during school...

Joe - A transition that comes to all us Brats eventually -- good luck in your new lifestyle -- we'll read your continued tales on our favorite site. All the best to you - El and Bill

We lived aboard a 22' for many years of cruising. Our portapotty was under the v berth entrance. Fit perfectly. If we thought it might be used at night, we put it out in the cockpit. Easy to dump in marinas and convenient to use. We were sailors who converted to a delightful life cruising...

We are on the water in Cinque Terre, Italy. We have transitioned off the boat, the C-Dory, but not the water. Cruising on the Med. Best to all- El and Bill

Ryan and Christine - We sailed the Loop on our 20' Flicka and then later cruised it on our 22' C-Dory. Also the Gulf ICW FL to Mex, all the Great Lakes and the eastern and Gulf rivers. We strongly support your desire to head east. Washington is glorious cruising, but that's home. A...

We did not carry a firearm on the boat on our several trips up the Passage to Alaska (and I am a former NRA handgun instructor and have a concealed gun carry permit). Canada is another story. I only carried in US when small game hunting with a light firearm for birds and was in bear...

Joel- Our best wishes to you for successful surgery and good recovery. El and Bill

Pat- That was a wild nighttime cruise you made that night. -- reckon it's best to stay off the water right after sending in tax money, eh? We sure enjoyed the many times shared with you and Jabez. We'll be flying into Atlanta this week, but just there for a short time watching a...

Nope, never found out what we had to be careful of.... Trip was about seven years ago. El and Bill

The July Heartland Boating magazine has an article about a C-Dory cruise around the Great Horseshoe. El and Bill

ENJOY! El and Bill

Retired early, sold the house, after a few years cruising in a small r.v., we bought a boat, moved aboard and our home was on the water for many years, all over our country. El and Bill
