The MARCIA JANE will be there Tuesday evening ???? time. We look forward to seeing old Brat friends and meeting some new ones. :D Hopefully Alex can keep Steve from blocking the Marina driveway as Steve does a complete motor overhaul with a pair of pliers and a screwdriver. :wink Does anyone...

Jim, Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and Nellie. We also fear those calls at all hours as Marcia's Mom turns 91 this week. You gotta love that spirit! Kent McClish MARCIA JANE

Hi Dan, We bought our 23' C-Dory Venture from Sportscraft Marina near Portland, Oregon in 2008. There are some things that I would do differently as the many add ons were installed, but overall we are very happy with the boat. The best thing I did was to have an aft steering station...

Jim, We got our copies of "Cat on a Leash" today. USPS just delivered them! :D Thank you so much for the super fast delivery. They arrived in perfect shape. Just think, we've got signed copies of a soon to be famous author AND ready made Christmas presents! :gift Thanks again! :thup...

I have a 2008 23' Venture equipped with a Honda 135 and a Honda 15 h.p. as my kicker. The C-Dory factory recommended a 115 h.p. motor for the Venture 23. The 2008 Honda 135 actually weighed less than the 2008 Honda 115 h.p., so I chose to go with the extra horsepower. I'm really glad I did...

Jim, What a guy! Jim is a great organizer and super cruise leader. If you haven't cruised the Delta and/or Catalina you need to sign up for one or both of these cruises. We'll add them to our calendar! Hopefully the Delta Cruise and the Catalina Adventure will be added to Event Signups...

Hi Jim, You are going to love your new boat. I have a 2008 Venture 23' made in the last year of the "old" factory. While there were some issues which I've solved and have been well documented in these threads, I could not be more satisfied with the hull design, features and construction of a...

Hi David, Wow, what a trip! You are a braver soul than I! :wink: Marcia and I got a real kick out of your father's comment about not liking to look down at the engines. We all have enjoyed his dry sense of humor and tact, but are you sure his comments weren't inspired by stark terror...

:D What a great cruise! Once again, Captain Jim and Kathy were great organizers and fun was had by all. I'm pretty sure that my little Honda outboard can be saved and hopefully John's wrist and ribs are OK. The Marcia Jane stayed one more day in order to see the sea battle that takes place a...

Thank you Keith for the detailed instructions for launching/mooring a boat at Marina del Rey. I would hate to have to learn the ins and outs the hard way on my first launch from a new harbor. Sounds like it could be real expensive. We might arrive on Saturday and do a little touring of that...

Hi Jim and Kathy, Marcia and I will glad to bring the chocolate syrup and cookies. We're looking forward to the cruise and real "Island Time". Two Harbors is one of our favorite destinations. We've not launched out of Marina del Rey before. Do they have the necessary parking spaces for...

Roger, Thanks for the update. I hope David's Dad is O.K. now! David, if we can help, let us know. Marcia and I live in Santa Maria (about 100 miles north of Marina del Rey) and are retired so our schedules are pretty flexible. We're looking forward to Two Harbors in August and are glad...

Hi David, I admire your sense of adventure and spirit! Is your Dad coming with you? Marcia and I will be looking forward to updates on your cruise. Best of luck as you head South. Keep us tuned in and we'll try to meet you somewhere in these southern climes. I hope you don't need your...

I can handle the often said "It's so cute!", but I had a tougher time with the Commodore of the Santa Barbara Yacht Club's comment when he saw the C-Dory lineup at the 2008 Seafood Festival. He said "They are so ADORABLE"! :roll: That was the MARCIA JANE'S first cruise and I've had several...

:D Thanks for your help! I think I am finally ready to post pictures on a timely basis. Sorry for the slow posting. Think we got it right this time! Kent MARCIA JANE

Hi Bob, Sorry to hear you're selling your baby! You have customized this CC with many special features. I remember the other boats interest in your intermittent wipers that were such a plus on San Pablo Bay during the 2009 Delta Cruise. Anyone who wants a boat with many "extras" should look...

Hi Bryan, I had the same problem on my 2008 Venture 23'. I installed a couple of "vent whistles" on the fuel vent line that I bought from greenboatstuff.com. They cost about $25.00 each, but stopped the spill problems that I'd been having. You have to make sure to stop filling when the...

In posting pictures for the Delta 2010 trip, I had some problems that I can't figure out. I run Windows 7 and use Picasa (a free Google program) for organizing and labeling my photos. I then create a web album and would like to post the pictures in the web album right on the the C-brat site...

Finally I got our pictures posted! :oops: Once again, Jim and Kathy showed why the Delta Extravaganza is sooo special! What a great time was had by all! Hats off to John and Robin also :D What superb hosts! The night at Wheeler Island is worth the long trip all by itself. I'll do a...

Hi Joel, :D What a great idea! Marcia and I will get one of each item in appropriate size of course. Thank you for your efforts! Kent and Marcia McClish MARCIA JANE
