I know that all of us here on the Chesapeake are thinking of you guys. Please give Patti our best. I still have that wonderful picture of the two of you picking Chesapeake blue crabs at our first gathering. I'm having fried local oysters tonight..I'll drink a toast to the two of you. Tom...

I am especially tuned to Bob's point about the speed of time passing...I just rolled into 70! Unbelieveable to me. I am only 32! I realize that boating time is finite...of course, runnning down the Bay at 90 would be grand. Re: the 110. The 25 I am looking at is equipped with the 110 Yanmar...

I am looking at a Ranger...hull somewhere in the late 40's....110 Yanmar FWC...Have the kinks been ironed out of the Yanmar? I believe the wiring problems have been taken care of in this edition. I plan to talk with Jeff about the boat. terraplane

Wow! Seven states already represented for our June gathering... I have a feeling we will have over 30 boats (already 18)...so let the good times roll... Again a reminder: if you have attended before and want to suggest some changes, please let us know. terraplane (tom)

Hi and welcome. I live in Rock Hall and have been looking at a 25 . Jack, Robin and Ed are friends. I love the boat and am in the 'talking" stage with them From what i hear, Ranger has worked to solve some of the wiring and electrical problems. Any questions i should raise with Jack Heffner...

Another plug for Wallas. Here on Chesapeake we don't get the Alaska weather, but the Wallas cerainly has handled any heating needs i have..including being on the boat when outside temp is 23F. I have no problem with the cooking aspect. I find that while it is heating up, i am doing prep...and...

We are plannning to meet on details soon. No decision on T shirt color, but not white. We will, most likely, try to avoid previous colors just for variety. terraplane

My 22 C Dory, 2005, from Cutter on Chesapeake, came with an all chain rode it was their way. I anchor out about one out of five times..lots of friends with docks. I have not used anything but the windlass for holding. What is the best way to snub off an all chain rode? terraplane

I want to add my support to the general run of comments above. I have found my 22 to be more satisfactory as an overall investment, as a seaworthy boat, and as a source of constant adventure...more than any of the eight boats i have owned. Some problems? Yes...but that is where this site comes...

Thanks Charlie, I just returned from checking my boat in the slip. It is blowing almost 50, in gusts, right now. White caps even in my little tucked away creek. Thanks for taking care of the planning aspects. We can talk details of itineray much later. Just wanted to put some ideas out there...

For those of you who plan on using my field to park rigs...i have space for about six..I'd rather not get into the booking business. I have promised two because of special circumstances...that leaves three, maybe four. So it is first come...but we have never had problems in the past finding...

Charlie, I have a long lasting love affair with Crisfield, but since the new condos, and the demise of the seafook packing houses, it is not the same..So..onward to Smith Island, and i agree, a more interesting spot, especially for non"Chesapeake people. What do you think of the rest of the...

Here is a possible itinerary for the post-gathering trip on the Bay. Leave by noon on Sunday, June 8..Destination: Patuxent River, St. Leonard's Creek..anchor out. Monday: To Potomac River, and festive gathering at Charlie's place. Tuesday: Depart Potomac , to Crisfield...marina Wednesday...

I"m going to talk to our local Rock Hall Ranger dealer and talk about some form of sponsorhip....i have already talked to the C Dory dealer in Annapolis and they are "considering" what they might be able to do for us. Seems to us a natural for sponsorhip of some kind...we not only have the C...

Les, I had hoped you might pick up on my request..Thanks so much. My mechanic at Cutter has done most of this each service...Not sure about the thermostat check and the greasing of steering cable...i'll be sure to ask about that this summer when i take it in. Reassuring to we "non mechanical "...

Wow, here it is only January and we have 14 signed up already! Maybe it is the winter blues or the longing for summer...but it is surely a sign that The Annual Chesapeake Bay Gathering is fun, successful, laid back and user-friendly. Y'all come, ok? Terraplane

I am looking at the addition of a kicker to my setup...thanks.

Hi Tracy, I will always remember that truck hauling a C Dory... Anyway, thanks for the offer. Something to think about...Doug and Anne were excited about the possibility of a poker run after being down there with you guys in NC at the gathering. We don't really have a clue about how this is...

OK, thanks for all the input on my possible plan to trade my carbureted 90 for a new EFI....Decident "no"....partly weighing the input here, the cost with trade (at least 5,000 with trade), and the fact that my frustrations were minor. So, seekint another line of advice. With my cars, my house...

A friend has the 21R..i have a 22'c dory. I'd say the 22 gives more for the family..I have had two in the V berth, one in the dinette bunk...6'..said i isn't bad..and one (summer)stretched across the rear seat (i added that)..that was a child. Only problem is the dinette sleeper has to be an...
