    C-dory factory on fire

    Having been thru two different fires at a couple of our commercial properties, I can say that if they have the right insurance they will be back in business in better shape than before the fire. We had one commercial building burn to the ground (3/4 of the building). Within 3 months all the...

    Honda 2000 extended fuel system

    We have two eu2000i hooked to a 12 gallon marine tank on our motorhome. I found this information from another site: Ok, kiddos. Today I did some goofing with external Fuel tanks and the Honda EU2000i. Interesting results! Background: I coupled an Atwood 12 gallon marine tank to an EU2000i...

    AC and Gen for 22'?

    We bought a small 5k unit at Walmart for $100 and have our eu2000i to power it. We put the AC in the center opening window. We did not hook the eu2000i into our fuel tanks, but could be done easily. We would fill the fuel tank and the generator would run out of gas around 5AM after running...

    New members, no C-Dory yet

    The key for us is this "if you think it is to small, it is to small" - just don't think about it. We love our CD22 for it's simplicity. We never complain about the space and instead we discuss the ease of use. We previously had a 32ft Sundowner with 12ft beam - we wanted something easier...

    GPS for Towing

    We've used our Xoom tablet and now Acer W700 tablet with the Copilot Live app on our motorhome for the last 50k miles. Works very well and we get to see it on a large touch screen.

    Summer adventure - Alaska and San Juan's

    Cruised from Friday Harbor to Blaine this morning - 25kts on COMPLETELY flat water. No boat traffic and no tide waves - completely flat the entire way. Backed the motorhome up, loaded the CD22, and without effort the motorhome (Winnebago View) pulled it out of the water - no issues. Spent a...

    Summer adventure - Alaska and San Juan's

    After a bit of a rolly night on the mooring ball at Clark Island we decided to cruise down the west side of San Juan Island. Made it to the lighthouse on Stuart Island and saw the Orcas coming our way. Spent the next number of hours floating around as the Orcas circled. Many breaches, full out...

    Summer adventure - Alaska and San Juan's

    Sitting on a mooring ball ät Clark Island. Beautiful flat sea's with a great view of Mt. Baker (at least we think it's Mt Baker). A bit of fog this morning to test our the radar and a bit of paddle boarding around the island. Another great day on the water. The plan is to pull the boat in time...

    Summer adventure - Alaska and San Juan's

    Yeah, that was a bit wet day. We were probably at Kong Fu pizza or out for ice cream. Would have enjoyed meeting you guys as we've followed your blog for a number of years. Just might be back in Friday Harbor again on this trip, if so we'll look for you. Have a great day on the water. Robert & Gaye

    Summer adventure - Alaska and San Juan's

    Cruised the west side on San Juan island today looking out for whales. None were seen but the water was basically flat. Ate our 4 crabs on the way to Anacortes where we are docked for the evening. Saw the largest West Marine ever in Anacortes- had just about everything. Tomorrow we'll stay for...

    Summer adventure - Alaska and San Juan's

    One of many reasons to have a small boat. On the way into Friday Harbor last night heard the 'you are #4 on waitlist' to another boater. We radioed in -22' do you need power? Nope, just a spot to tie - no wait list for us and $24 later we were good to go. Today quite windy, but we are...

    Summer adventure - Alaska and San Juan's

    Raining foggy day but a great day to look for whales. Nice and calm on Haro Straits this morning. Slowly cruised down the outside of San Juan island looking for whales. Saw a few whale watching boats cruise by but decided not to follow as they may be headed just about anywhere. We made our way...

    Summer adventure - Alaska and San Juan's

    No, we decided to paddle board around the harbor instead. We did pass it on the water though. Looked like a great place for the lighthouse keeper to live!

    Spent the night on Monday in Stuart harbor after trawler cruising the area looking for whales and going for the hike to the one room school house on the island. This morning we again trawler cruised looking for whales. Saw many many porpoises and seals, but no whales - yet. We are now in Roche...

    Summer adventure - Alaska and San Juan's

    Spent the day cruising slowly (5kts) from Parks Bay to Matia Island going on the east side of Orcas Island. Now on a mooring ball in Rolfe Cove. Great little hike on the island through old growth trees. Caught 4 more crabs for dinner! Great to be on the water. Here is our path via Inreach...

    Summer adventure - Alaska and San Juan's

    After a couple days in Friday Harbor we cruised around the San Juan's just enjoying the day and avoiding the bigger waves. Now anchored in Parks Bay for the evening. Purchased our crab cage and licenses yesterday and this evening enjoyed 6 very good red rock crab! Beautiful evening with a...

    Summer adventure - Alaska and San Juan's

    After spending part of the day on Wednesday in Vancouver we pulled the CD22 out of storage and launched in Blaine. Had the pleasure of visiting with Patty and Pat at the harbor - just as nice and kind as I had expected from the years reading their posts! Decided to try and make it to the San...

    Summer adventure - Alaska and San Juan's

    Now in Ketchikan until Sunday when I go out on the ferry to Prince Rupert. I have to admit that it is temporarily nice to be in a tourist trap after driving the Alaska Hwy and touring Alaska for the last 5 weeks. Loved the entire trip and nothing better than being able to boondocks where ever...
