Wheel spinner! Yes - JC Whitney, $12.95. Thirteen of the best bucks I've spent on my 25. Lou S. Skimmer

Factory spec sheet says max power is 115 hp. Hmmm?

Cutter Marine used to be the dealer here, but lost their franchise a couple of years ago. Then Sail Anapolis had the franchise for a brief period but no longer does. Therefore there is no dealer on the east coast north of New Bern, NC, I believe. The C-Dory web site says they'll hook you up...

Saw and hailed Chack Chack during her visit last week. Then saw Catleen moored at Solomons Yachting Center last night. It's a C-Dory parade in Southern Maryland.

Signs of Spring on the Chesapeake. Went down to Urbanna on Saturday just to check on Skimmer. It was sunny and nice, and temp rising to 60, so I started her up - good old Honda fired right up after sitting idle for more than two months. Still lots of winter ducks on the creeks and lower...

Skimmer would love to make this trip, but don't know if school schedule will allow. Put us down as a definite "maybe," any way and we'll watch this topic for developments in the plan.

Can this be right - over $100k new for $60k with fewer than 60 hours? What's the catch?

Saw a green trim 22 Classic on a trailer in the WalMart parking lot at the Rt 1/Rt 17 exit from I95 last Sunday (5/31). VA registration. Who was that? Where from? Where to?

Been around the Mattaponi and Pamunkey a lot, mostly by car. They are pretty wild and have no facilities. I think even West Point where the rivers converge into the York has no marina. It does have a nice state maintained ramp. It also has a large, stinky paper mill, an eyesore on the shore...

Two years ago sold my 22' on C-Brats. It took 10 months at the depth of the downturn - probably because I asked too much, and didn't include a trailer. Had also tried Craig's List, Boat Trader, Boat US, local paper. Got serious inquiries only from the C-Brats site. In the past sold other...

Hooray - this great event is back on! Many thanks, Doug and Anne, for getting this organized. We look forward to the gathering every year and to seeing everyone again this year at Lankford. We should just about be dug out of the snow by then.

Enough already! I thought the best things about being a school teacher were summer vacation and snow days. I'm still high on summer, but snow days are only good for cabin fever if you can't even get out to get to the marina.

Roddy, C-Brats is the best site for C-Dorys for sale. Check the home page lower right side. When we sold our 22 we tried Craig's List, Boat Trader, et al, but got best qualified inquiries and eventual buyer from this site. Good hunting.

It will be a disappointment not to gather at Lankford Bay. It's been a great venue, especially for Maryland home-ported brats. And who's going to lead the kazoo band?!? Sorry we're not able to take charge of arrangements, but we are eager to participate wherever it is this year. Lou...

We had a 22 for one season and loved it, though we felt a little cramped when spending weekends aboard. Then we got a deal we couldn't refuse on a 25 and traded up. After two seasons , no regrets. Pros of the 25: more room in cabin and cockpit more power w/150 vs 90hp more amenities -...

Check out John Page Williams' Chesapeake: Exploring the Water Trail of Captain John Smith, too. Published by Natl Geog, it covers the same routes without all the digressions of Landfall. Lou Skimmer
