Her desert berth

80 degree water; yummy!

Starting out on the ocean the very first time

First ocean trip to Catalina; it was awesome!

Thank you Bill, and, lol, I bought the C-Pelican off him, so I am sure he can give me the straight scoop for sure! Jeff

I've been hoping for such a thread as this one. I too am a SoCal man with a 7500W generator standing by to keep my beer and wine cold and a few lights on, but I have always thought a generator for the C-Pelican would come in handy as I always worry about the batteries and I am off alone for many...

Steve, Thanks for the positive note. I will continue then to keep an eye on this event and see if I can make it for at least one day. I would enjoy meeting fellow C-Brats in my area. Jeff

Thanks for the info Roger. Looks like i will not be able to join the Catalina party then :cry but one good thing has happened, I would love to go to the Channel Islands and re-learn some fishing techniques. As it gets warmer i will let you know when I will head out your way. Jeff

Hello Mike, I would love to participate in this event. This site is the main reason I chose to get a C-Dory and would love to meet people who share my passion for them. I am working that week though but see that the first and last days of your schedule are on Sunday and Saturday. Is it usual...

Thanks Boris for sharing. I will look for that book as I too am a new power boat owner who also has the 'scars' to show for it, but all done with a smile still! (well, at least afterwards, maybe not at the moment) Jeff

Regarding Bob Austin's "first man with the cash" ideology. Bob is very correct and true in his reply as I was the man who bought his boat. Bob was/is a man of his word and it was a pleasure to meet him let alone buy the C-Pelican from him. Shoot, after all the extra's he threw in and problems he...

Hello Steve, I am a first-time boat owner and it is a 22' C-Dory. I bought it this summer, used. I have launched and retrieved it by myself many times successfully. I have also fished in the ocean and lakes with it solo, with success. I have no other comparisons with other boats but I do not...

Great pics and info! I need such encouragement after my first fiasco, er, attempt. J

Hello, Sounds like fun and I would love to get to know some other SoCal C-Dory-ites but that week-end is pretty busy for me too. Jeff

Thanks for the note Steve and yes, for better or worse, I am honest. But it was a blast still and I will continue. Bob! Hello! Yes, the 'ol C-Pelican is being used and yes, I will have to review my diving skills and begin anew and go to the lobsters it seems. But catch or not, it is fun to be...

For the nice info and help given to me re my fishing/lobster trip, here's a report of the event. One, Oceanside Harbor is a very nice spot to rent a slip and the cheapest I found so far ($18.00) and there are tons of restaurants, coffee shops and bars in easy walking distance. The fishing...

well, lobster hoops (turners sporting goods) are bought, 4, thanks for all the help and let's hope i get beginner's luck!

Great article Roger, thanks! Maybe I will have beginner's luck and show those Easterners how good these bugs are :wink Shoot, as long as I don't flip my dinghy again it will be an improvement from last time! Just as I thought though, the members of this site come thru everytime. C-Dory oughta...

Hello everyone, I have been at your site for awhile and it helped me find the C-Pelican which I became the proud owner of this summer. Being my first boat I have taken it in steps from lakes and then the ocean. A successful trip to Catalina Island has hooked me into the ocean fun. So, this...

Wow, a topic I have experience with! I am a first time boat buyer and started out right with a C-Dory 22' Cruiser I bought thru a contact from this site. I lucked out and met Bob and Marie. He had it documented so I thought I'd keep up the "tradition". I thought it was easy to do and I liked...
