Casey said: And it worked like a champ. The wheels of the cart screeched to a halt until the employee pointed his hand-held device at the wheel. Then it magically released the brakes and away we went. Over the Hudson River with our loot: Through the small-town-America town of Waterford...

Jay and JoLee, THANK YOU for such a wonderful description of your trip. And of Baranof Warm Springs. Such a perfect way to describe it. It is my favorite place ON EARTH. Sitting in the natural hot springs up the trail while the waterfall is raging just behind is an unbelievable experience...

The Rosborough Rough Water™ 9.11 looks like a great boat and with TWO 150's, I'm sure it flies! The 9.11 stands for meters (9.11 meters is 29' 11"). This link has some great photos inside and out: http://www.rosboroughboats.com/leisure-series/

The beauty of these little gems is they are waterproof, lightweight, put out plenty of light for reading, or to light up a small area, and no batteries to replace. They've gotten rave reviews from boaters, backpackers and survivalists. Great for hurricane or 'bug-out' kits. Saw the first one...

Luci Inflatable Solar Lantern $14.95 Casey and I saw one of these things (looks like a small clear beach ball...only instead of being round, its a stubby, cylinder shape) on another boat in Elizabeth City, NC. When I asked, "what's that?", the owners GUSHED how it was WONDERFUL, AMAZING, blah...

Thank you Jay and Jolee! We hope you two, along with Brent and Dixie, have a wonderful time in Alaska! Of all our adventures, I can't imagine any will ever top that one. Hope you make it to the spectacular Baranoff Warm Springs ... my favorite spot on earth. Safe travels.

First, Floyd, thank you for that AWESOME Google Map of our trip. I've been meaning to make one but need my laptop and we've had VERY limited wi-fi. So, thank you for saving me the trouble! There are some missing dots between Ft. George and Charleston so I will fill you in on those details...

We have been having a wonderful time in Portsmouth, VA at Steve and Joan Baum's home and mini-marina (their C-Dory is only one of MANY boats). Here is the photo I was trying to insert of the three C-Brats: Casey Casebeer (CC23 - "Dessert 1st"); Steve Baum (CD22 -" Osprey"); and Stu Schiavo...

For anyone wanting to follow our trip. A work in progress. Will add captions when we have internet access. http://caseyandmary.smugmug.com/Florida-to-the-Chesapeake-2015/

Here's the boat/wake Casey was talking about barreling up the narrow Alligator River: http://caseyandmary.smugmug.com/Florida-to-the-Chesapeake-2015/i-Zgk2294/M http://caseyandmary.smugmug.com/Florida-to-the-Chesapeake-2015/i-64kkQgG/M (I tried inserting as a photo instead of link and it...

Thank you all for asking to see photos! Such a nice group we have here on C-Brats! I have been very lazy about adding photos this trip. Plus, I was in the middle of a good book and my spare time was spent relaxing and reading in the lawn chair in the cock-pit. I've gotten some photos...

You're welcome, Stan! And thanks Lake Effect, Peter, Cliff, Rob and Mary for the nice comments on my photos. It's easy to take good photos in such a beautiful setting! I have uploaded 45 onto the community album. I have a few good photos of individual boats that I will send directly to...

I'm working on my photos too. Will probably post what I have tomorrow. But in the meantime, here are six favorites of mine : I like the reflections: The Hontoon Dead River as viewed from the hiking trail: The resident alligator who lives just off our dock at Hontoon: The resident snake...

James wrote: " it appears that we did not all go home after the event." Nope! And there are four boats still here at Hontoon: Dessert 1st, Freedom, Y Knot, and Blues Cruiser. The park and the weather were both just too gorgeous to leave. We walked the entire nature trail and watched the...

Stan - the donuts were delicious! Mike -thank you for the album. I am hoping ALL the folks who have been snapping pictures this great weekend will post them here. Casey and I will be on the water for a few more days and will post ours when we are home. (I tried yesterday to post just one...

Hoping the donut boat makes it through the thick fog we're having this morning!

Sent a PM with three numbers and Tom already has his on here in a previous post. If anyone else needs numbers just ask ...I'll send a PM. I'll also post updates on site availability tomorrow. Per the staff here, get here by early afternoon and you won't have a problem.

There are 40 slips. 7 are currently occupied (100% C-Brats). Most of the folks who come here regularly say that you won't have any problem getting here in the early afternoon on Friday. But the staff here says that by Saturday afternoon, they may fill up. If you don't think you will make it...
