I live in Los Angeles but I will visit my parents at their Kezar Lake water front home in So Maine near Lovell sometime in July or August. I wondered if any C-Dory gathering is happening along the Maine coast and if a C-Doryman would like to take me on as crew to see the Maine coast? I have...

I just returned to SoCal from a two week visit at my parents home in Pennsylvania where it was below 20 degrees. I am in awe of all the generous replies to my question and the picture! Wow I may have to retire now just to have the time to reseach all these places so I can really retire later...

Looking for a 55+ housing development either with a marina or convenient to one for my C-Dory, or a boat ramp / storage facility, preferably in the west and preferably that has access to the ocean and fishing.

You had a lot of good times on the water. I'm frustrated that job and life prevent me from using my CD as I thought I could when I bought it. My wife hates the ocean. I envy the good times you enjoyed on your boat. Be well, Keith C-Pup in Los Angeles

A bow pennant flag is useful to tell the direction of wind.

The 16 ft CD is easily blown around at slow speeds and will do a 180 before you can even respond if you're distracted. Understand this, plan approachs with the wind in mind, and give yourself plenty of margin for error when approaching tight spots on a windy river. At high speeds, use the...

Thank you Jim and Bob for the pictures. Wonderful memories. Keith

I sure enjoyed my week with everyone. Great R&R. Great weather! I now miss the afternoon ocean wind! Sorry to hear that John had some drama driving home. Those trailer tires have to be such high psi to carry the weigh, I'm not surprised road heat like you NorCal C-Brats encountered on the...

That's the best way to initiate a group cruse! Loved it!

Please call me on my cell phone 213-700-0080 about where and when is Sunday dinner... Just about packed and ready... boat on trailer. I'll join you for dinner sunday with Kimiko, but will launch early Monday. Thanks! Keith

...that's if Robbin has not already offered to bring potato or macaroni salad in response to your call. I like her food! ;-)

I'll ask Kimiko to make a pasta salad with olive oil...very tasty. If she can not due to fatigue, then I'll buy a potato or macaroni salad for the group .

I thought I posted that I'll bring the garlic bread but I don't see that post, so, unless otherwise instructed... I'll bring garlic bread. If we need to buy provisions on Sunday for the group dinner on Monday, I'll gladly chip in my share of costs. I'll also join you guys for dinner in MdR on...

I'll be there. Let me know what food to bring. I can carry ice to keep whatever cool.

white glow in the dark, not flow in the dark... my typing stinks. Roger, what's the trade off in fuel use between your twins and the 90?

Never caught a keeper WSB. Saw a guy weig in a 54 pound one at the MdR Derby on June 9th. They often move in schools which often follow large squid balls. Their large air bladder makes them light up like a giant sausage on the fish finder (bright colored archs) so they're easy to spot. Night...

Thank's Kent. I've had the pleasure of being crew on Steve's boat Dora Jean on two past cruises and was glad to be in a 25 ft CD, which took some very rough conditions well, while Mike B's nearby 22 ft boat had his electronics ripped out of ceiling from the slamming. I do know what you mean...

She got stiches out today and is recovering, but the brain takes a long while to return to normal

Glad it went so well and everyone returned home safe. I look forward to seeing those of you who will do the Catalina Adventure in August. Kimiko bumped her head (not on the boat) and needed head surgery a couple weeks ago to drain pooled blood under her skull. She is recovering and will be...

You drive your boat, not your mechanic. He may be sincere adn trying to be helpful, but I'd check it out if possible on another CD with PT to "feel" the difference. I have the bat ray thick plastic wing style fins that help a lot with trimmong a 16 ft CD. I feel that I might get better mileage...
