Bob and Marie, Sorry we won't see you in the Keys this year, but admire your devotion to family and duty. All the best

Great news indeed! Glad to hear that this great brand will continue (and that current owners' investments in it will be sustained).

Joyce, Sorry to hear that we won't see you and Wolfgang on the James and the Bay again, at least for a while. The only advice I have re: trailers is to avoid Load Rite. I went the low cost route and have had lots of electrical and brake problems. But it occurs to me that those are mostly...

Saw Fan-C-Dory trailering on I 295 today headed south just below Hopewell, VA. Who dat? Where to? Don't see anything from/about this boat on C-Brats for years.

Neal, We are greatly saddened to hear of your loss in Jeanne's passing. You and she are in our thoughts and prayers. Lou and Nadine S.

Please add my thanks to Erma and Ernie, Carrie and Gene for a fun event. We did miss the run down to Beaufort, but had had plenty of excitement getting from Belhaven to Whittaker Point. On Sunday, when we moved down to the ramp we saw that the Sound had settled down enough that we could have...

I thought I got a deal on a Load-Rite with bunks (not rollers) 3-4 years ago but would not buy another one. It seemed to corrode quickly (non-aluminum parts) and tail and side lights soon failed and needed to be replaced with LEDs. Also there is a lot of discussion on C-Brats about trailers...

Skimmer plans to be there. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Nadine and I enjoyed the trip and the company, too. The bumpy ride back on the last day was a real adventure with green (or brownish) water over the bow even at only 6 kts. Hope to see everyone on the water again soon.

Steve and Joan, Skimmer's crew (Nadine and I) plan to join you for dinner on Thursday, and then stay at our marina at Langley that night. We'll get underway Fri. morning and join the flotilla enroute to Smithfield. Looking forward to it!

Henricus is another 45 mi. up the river from River's Rest: http://www.henricus.org/ Jamestown is about 25 mi. (into the marina) back down the river: http://www.ecodiscoverypark.org/ We could probably arrange ground transport for anyone interested in going to Williamsburg/Jamestown from...

Skimmer is signed up and we're looking forward to it. Thanks, Steve and Joan, for getting us organized.

It was great to see old friends and meet new ones at the pre-cruise dinner last night. Baums are "tremendous hosts" indeed. So sorry not to be going with the group this time. We wish them fair winds and following seas. (Are there "seas" in the swamp?)

Skimmer will not be able to make this one, after all - had a family requirement come up. We will likely drive down to Eliz. City to see the arrival at Lamb's, take in the Potato Festival, and have dinner with the group. Look forward to seeing everyone then.

Even with the floor panels, it's a loooong step down to the cockpit from the gunwale compared to the CD 25.

Looking for a thread about any C-Brats going to the Keys this winter, 2014? Skimmer is heading down for a couple days at Bahia Honda, about 3/2, then down to Boca Chica until 3/15 (unless we decide to go "conch," and stay). Any other C-Brats plan to be in the area around then?

Fish, Here's another "welcome aboard," particularly to the growing Tidewater/Chesapeake Bay faction. Check out the James R. and NC Loop and Gathering C-Brats photo albums for some of our events You have scanned the "C-Dorys for sale," list, no doubt? None in VA/NC but a few E. Coast...

Got this response to my note to NCDOT... "Dear Mr. Schiavo: Thank you for your support of the Dismal Swamp Canal Welcome Center/Rest Area. First, let us assure you the NCDOT has no plans to close the facility. The Department is undergoing a major change on how it determines the...

Called Lamb's Marina in Elizabeth City to make sure they can accommodate our group. The dockmaster says, "this is the perfect place." Just wants us to call and confirm a week or so before we arrive. We should probably make individual reservations as well. Is it spring, yet?

Skimmer is signed up and looking forward to doing the Loop in reverse order (not in reverse, right?) :wink Lambs has not yet responded to my inquiry, so I'll noodge 'em to make sure they can accommodate us.
