We have owned our 2008 C-Dory 22 since buying it brand new in 2008. It has proven to be one of our favorite purchases. We now travel full-time - Sprinter 4x4, International Travel (82 countries), and of course our CD22. We've started a YouTube Channel a few months ago to share our travels and...

Hi We are currently on our CD22 on our way back from Petersburg Alaska to the PNW area. We hope to have the boat pulled from the water and stored on the hard (without trailer) in the Blaine, Bellingham, Seattle, etc area. We would then fly home and next summer bring the boat trailer. Any...

On Saturday we left Ketchikan and planned on cruising the loop on the Behm Canal thru the Misty Fjords. Thought it would be best to go clockwise around the loop in order to have the NW winds behind us - turns out we always had the wind on our nose. Not that big of deal as most of the way the...

This is our 6th year cruising our CD22. We've always had condensation on the walls and ceiling (in the mornings) no matter what the water temp, inside temp, outside temp, etc. We have cruised the Great Lakes, Erie Canal, North Channel, Ontario, PNW, etc. Never really a big issue but always...

Well, we made it from Vancouver to Ketchikan. Had a great cruise and were lucky not to have any weather days. The winds on Straits of Georgia, Johnstone Straits, and Queen Charlotte were very high during the time that we went thru the area, but we just waited for the right time of day & tides...

This is probably a foolish question - but does both my wife and myself need a BC Tidal Fishing License if only one of us handles the crab pot, etc? We only have one crab trap and don't really want to pay $106 annual (or $32 5 day) fee for both of us. I'm assuming only one would need the...

Here is a link to our Alaska Inside Passage Route (still working on the details): You can click on the left side to show the waypoints entered so far (fuel stops, marina's, marine parks, etc). I'll be adding more layers as I go. Those layers will then be imported into OpenCpn. Any thoughts...

Purchased a Matsutec HP-33A 4.3" Color LCD Class B AIS Transponder Combo High GPS Navigator today - shipping from China. $399.00 free shipping. Looking forward to trying it out on the way to Alaska in June. Also, bought a New Sea-Me Active Radar Reflector for $175. Probably not required but...

We'd thought that we'd start a post to share our travel plans this summer to Alaska. It is so nice to have many c-brats already completing this trip to give us threads to search - we'd like to think this might help someone else in the future. we'll also share via facebook at...

Thought I'd share this with the many Seahawk fans on c-brats. I'm in Phoenix for a few days (we stored our motorhome down here for the winter). Pretty much every fan I saw today was a Seahawk fan. They were having a fan fest at the Diamond Back's Chase Field and the line to get in (all...

Thought we'd start a thread for folks in the future that may be looking to store their boat in SE Alaska. We will update as we get more information. Please Post if you have specific (storage cost, etc). Wrangell City Harbor - --> Harbor master stated that they will only store boats +40 ft...

We are planning on taking our CD22 up the inside passage this summer and would like to store the boat on the hard in SE Alaska. Decided to expand the search to include Juneau. The plan would be to bring the CD22 up the inside passage, have the boat hauled and stored in SE Alaska, my wife & son...

We are planning on taking our CD22 up the inside passage this summer and would like to store the boat on the hard in Ketchikan. The plan would be to bring the CD22 up the inside passage, have the boat hauled and stored in Ketchikan, my wife & son would fly home, and I'd take the Alaska Marine...

We are planning to do the inside passage to Ketchikan, AK this summer and need to purchase a dinghy. We have limited space on our roof with the radar attached at the rear of the roof. From the searching that I've done on c-brats - it looks like the dinghy motor of choice would be the Suzuki...

Tomorrow we leave Wisconsin heading to Alaska via our Winnebago View motorhome. I'll drive to Fairbanks over the next 10 days and the family will fly in to Fairbanks. From there we'll make our way down to Juneau over about 3 weeks where the family will fly home and I'll continue on via the...

We have some friends that want to cruise the San Juan's this summer and would like to charter a boat out of Bellingham (or any port close by). Does anyone have recommendations for a boat charter company? - they would be looking for around a 30ft boat to charter for a week or so. Thanks for...

I might already know the answer to my question, but just want to verify. Our boat is currently in Birch Bay, WA and last year we launched out of Blaine and cruised up to Vancouver and over to the Gulf Islands. This year we plan to stay in the US and cruise the San Juan's. Would it be better...

This summer I'll be driving our View motorhome (no CD22 as we have it stored Blaine, WA) from Wisconsin to Fairbanks, AK. The family will fly into Fairbanks and we'll spend 3 weeks getting down to Juneau. The family will fly home and I'll take 2 weeks to get the motorhome to Vancouver and the...

Last week before we left Blaine, WA for home, we had our Nexus interviews. All was good and we even received our Nexus cards in the mail already. Question that we have is when you cross into Canada/USA, what do you declare as far as groceries? Our plan would be to have No Fruits...

Before we left for the PNW, I installed a 100W solar panel kit that I purchased on Amazon for $185. On board we have a Norcold refrigerator/ freezer and we have a wallas stove, a laptop (watch movies at night), tablets, ipods, and smart phones. On top of that the cabin lights and the anchor...
