Hi El & Bill, Hope the Engine work goes well, and the break in period goes smoothly. Remember, the engine will last longer if broken in slowly, and kept well lubricated ( Preferably with Irish Mist). Rick and Carol from Maine

Hi Boris, Yup, you'll be near us if you are going up the Rideau Canal. But, if you're cruising Georgian Bay, you most likely are thinking of traveling up the Trent Severn Waterway which goes from Lake Huron to Lake Ontario, which is about a one - two day cruise from the Rideau Canal. Hope...

Dates: 8/22/07 to 8/28ish Place: Rideau Canal from Kingston, ON to Ottawa or Montreal At the end of last year's Erie Canal cruise we discussed doing the Rideau Canal in August ( in lieu of Sept) to allow some spouses who can't come in Sept to make it. So, lets plan on going around 8/22 -...

HI John, I thought of you guys once for a second during a commercial during the game Sunday, while sipping a cool one. Wondered how the ice storm hit ya's. I hope the show went well for you guys, and that you sold lots more C-dory's in this area. We can always use more C-Brats for local...

Thank You, Les, The new design looks good to me. Seems to have improved several areas over my 2000 CDory. Rick from Maine

Hi Greg, Yup, you're in the right place. The C-Dory is perfect for exploring, and can carry your kayak and bike. You'll be amazed at how the trailerability adds to your explorations. Plus, this C-Brat site will hook you up with other C-Dory people who will become valued friends, and further...

Hi Dave, My kicker is a 2000 Nissan 5 HP long shaft. Right length for the C-Dory on my raised mount, and OK on the dingy. Rick from Maine

Based on Fred's recommendation, I too read 1492, and was pleased with it. Like Jay, I was impressed with the practical cooperation in the first generation and later debacles by pompous leaders. Got a kick out of the account of bestiality and the punishment, and the fact that a Mastiff came...

Hi Bill, You raise a good point. There's amplitude and frequency involved, as best witnessed by "Spousal Deafness". This data is only amplitude. Given my deafness of higher frequencies, I probably wouldn't be concerned if engine noise was in the high frequency range. Alas, I'm not able to...

One of the major factors in choosing an engine(s) is noise levels. But, objective data isn't available. So, On our Erie Canal cruise, this year, we took noise level readings for 22' Cruisers, with door and windows closed. If the table below doesn't come out aligned properly, I'll resubmit...

Hi Wayne, Yup, we spent a lot of time eating. What did you expect? Something about Eat , Drink, and Cruise (not necessarily in that order). We continued the tradition established last year. As Bill noted last year, this is one C-Dory gathering that cruised on its stomach. It was fun how...

Wow Dun! Supah photos and captions. As Carol looked over my shoulder she kept saying: "Print that one". You really captured the flavor of our cruise and dining stops. Good Job, Thanks. Rick from Maine

Yup, it was another great Erie Canal Cruise / Gathering. I think the hi-lite was the Flat Screen TV’s over the Urinals! (You’ll have to read more for the details) Saturday 9/9/06 we launched at Seneca Lake State Park with help from “The Last Dance” and “Crescent Girl”. Then, we cruised up...

Great Dave, Glad you can make it. Yeah Fred, I plan to stop at every opportunity like last year. Do you realize that last year we cruised for 6 days and Carol & I only had 1 meal that we prepared on our boat ( Picnic lunch at a lock on Monday noon). All the rest of our meals were with others...

Rich, thanks for those restaurant #'s. We'll be at the Varsity; that's the one we used last year. Fred, you know how it goes, it will last as long as you want it to! However, my planning shows that we'll be in Waterford on Thurs afternoon with a Sunday start, assuming we travel every day...

Hi Nate, Hope you can come play with us, at least for Saturday Night. We'd like to meet ya's. You could put your boat at the town dock, and stay at a local B&B if you're not set up yet. Or, you could just come and dock and play with us on Saturday night, then boat home if that suits. The...

Hi Wayne, Great, hope the weather is good, and that you guys come with your boat. Since you'll have time to cruise on Saturday, you could go down Cayuga to the Goose Watch winery. That makes a nice short cruise with a destination that's fun, if ya like wine. The plan is to meet at the...

Hi Guys, Well, 3 of 6 signees want to leave Sunday, and the rest of us can live with that. So, Let's plan on leaving from Seneca Falls on Sunday. Which means that our OFFICIAL Gathering Dinner will be at Seneca Falls on Saturday, 9/9/06. We'll meet at the Town Dock around 5:00 PM for...

Woo Hoo! I guess I better get finding some B&B's! Is there any consensus on when we intend to leave Seneca Falls to head east, either Sunday or Monday? Our preferrence is to leave Monday, and play in Seneca Falls and the Lakes on Sunday. But we'd be happy to start heading East on Sunday if...

Hi Dun, Yup, I like your Plan B. If Lock 10 is broke, I'd like to go from Albany up the Champlain. Maybe we could go up the Flight of Locks and west on the Erie for a little side trip. I've always wanted to do that Flight. Rick from Maine
