"My Other Boat" is a Givens Survival Raft

The Breeze article linked here says these ocean "canoes" are beached at Cabrillo Beach (San Pedro) for the curious to see and to greet the crews that crossed the Pacific in them. http://www.dailybreeze.com/ci_18767361? ... rss_viewed

So they saw a variety of C-Dories on the weekend! Imagine crossing from New Zealand to San Francisco on that! Much more of a challenge than crossing to Catalina.

Hi Bob, I posted the old article for its photo. It does not do it justice, especially when five or more such boats are sailing together. It's an incredible sight. I wonder why the blog site you posted has no photos. I also wonder who funded the construction and support costs of the many...

Jim, What's the link to your photos? Cell phone or camera, it's all digital and good for this web site's use. Thanks. Keith C-Pup

Interesting. I wonder if my Blackberry has any similar features. A fishing buddy uses the i-pad to position his boat over a long pipeline going out from shore at LAX/El Segundo. The pipe is an artifical reef. His i-pad app shows an arial photo of the coastal water that actually reveals the...

Hello CVatalina Flotilla, While I was fishing Palos Verdes on the return from our week at Catalina Island, I was greeted by Phil and Merry on the TomCat called "No Pressure". They dive and make wonderful underwater videos and scenes from their C-Dory at sea. Very nice of them to greet me...

Hi guys. I split-off from you on our return so I could fish PV. No luck with the fish there either. I finally returned to MdR around 2~2:30pm. To my surprise, there were about six huge Samoan ocean sailing catamarans with a tiny hut, two masts, oars that were unbelievably huge, and a crew of...

Thanks for the tip Kent! Sorry you got sick, We missed you both and hope you're well by now. Jim and Kathy (Pounder) organized another wonderful C-Dory gathering, They brought a delicious tri-tip for Monday's beach barbecue. You now got me wanting to take some more days off from work...

I really enjoyed the Island Time, everyone's support and friendship, and Oh!~ what delicious food! Thank you and thanks to all who contributed in so many ways to make it a memorable week! Be well, Keith C-Pup16 in Los Angeles

Scotch tape your paid parking tickets to your windshield (inside). Make sure you taped the correct side so it reads through the glass. No use being ticketed by the parking enforcement because your paper parking tickets for 7 days curled up in the sun and were not visible.

Hi Rich, I'd love to hear your comments about your new Marinaut as you put it to use in coming years. Seems like a fine design. I'm im SoCal so I prefer a boat like the CD16 with no bulkhead to make it easier to pilot and position it while fishing. I missed the chance to buy a nice looking...

I'll talk with you Sunday night about what food or drink I can contribute.

Very nice!

I'll join you all for dinner. Maybe Kimiko too. Not sure whether I'll put in on Sunday night or launch before dawn and fish a little, looking for you outside the marina exit.

I'd like to join you all. Been a stressfull summer. Could use some island time with friends. Jim and Kathy... is it too late to add me in? If not, I'll mail my check tomorrow (8/2). Please email me your address again. If too late, then I'll make my own accomodations even if I anchor...

Sure looked like fun, being able to gather as a like kind~ no size envy...did you raft up the boats for libation hour to throw a party? Maybe I can join you sharp looking super clean 16s next year...

About five years ago, my Lowrance chart-plotter/fish finder went blank at sea. It was not a fuse. It was fried. Don't know why, other than a defective unit. The warranty had expired a few months earlier. I called Lowrance Support in Florida. They told me to ship it to them right away because...

last post from me was... intended for Sea Life Mike: Hi Mike! You're clearly young at heart! We missed you. Next year, please come with us! We'll put you on the Avalon Zip Line. There are 5 segments. The rest of us can all take turns pushing you over the ledge! What fun! A zip line may seem...

You're clearly young at heart! We missed you. Next year, come with us. We'll put you on the Avalon Zip Line. Therre are 5 segments. We can all take tuens pushing you over the ledge! A zip line may seem dull compared to Coast Guard work but hey, you can drink a beer while zipping down the...
