    Photos of waterspout in south Puget Sound

    I wasn't out on the water today and after seeing photos and videos of this waterspout, I'm glad I was at home. I only noticed the heavy rain and thunder. http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Wate ... 3071248249 Robbi

    Kings in South Puget Sound

    Fly fishing for kings is not an easy undertaking, but for some reason I've got a spot and a technique down this year. Three trips out, three hook ups and two to the boat. One wild 13 pounder last trip, but today, I must say, the biggest fish ever on a fly rod for me. A 22 pound hatchery king on...

    V-Berth Mods to 16 Cruiser

    For those of you with 16 Cruisers, you know there is a huge area for storage under the V-Berth, but, it is a pain to get to. I store some things under the berth now, and I find myself on my hands and knees at least once a day grumbling about access. Plus, the v-berth is covered in "stuff", and I...

    Thoughts on the 16 Cruiser

    Ive just spent my first night on my 2004 16 C. As many of you know, my last boat was a 19, and I've owned a 16 Angler which I took on a few cruises. I'm sitting in the V-berth with my back againist the port side of the cabin. I'm drinking my first cup of coffee and watching the sunrise. I...

    Another Brat returns to C-dorydom!

    I just bought a 2004 C-Dory 16 Cruiser that EQ Marine had on their lot. It is a one owner boat that was owned by a fellow on the Olympic Peninsula. I was looking for a 22, but I decided that with the majority of my boating being solo, and most within 120 miles from home, the 16 would work out...

    C-Run is moving north!

    C-Run has new owners! She has been purchased by a wonderful couple from Northern California who have this magical 2nd home in the northern Gulf Islands of British Columbia. A pure paradise for sure. The island has no transportation, so they needed a boat to ferry themselves and their goods from...

    Humpback Whale in Puget Sound

    There have been a number of very unusual visitors to Puget Sound, and especially to the South Sound this year. One species that has never been recorded in Puget Sound is the long-beaked common dolphin. One or two of them are in the area of Olympia right now. These are usually not seen north of...

    Things that go bump in the night

    I am on the hook in Gig Harbor. I just finished a PM to a friend, and told them how nice and quiet it was here. 11pm, fire in the Dickenson, nice red wine. All of a sudden I had a visitor! Came up under the boat at the transom and rocked the boat as it hit near the outboard. Gave the boat two or...

    What's A Good Helm Replacement Seat?

    I would like to replace my helm seat with a seat that is a tad bit more comfortable! The 250 mile round trip to Friday Harbor about did me in. Even a short cruise yesterday of about 20 miles became uncomfortable very quickly. I want a seat that I can actually sit back in, and still have good...

    An Olympic Medal in the Family

    Cordell and I are so happy for our daughter-in-law. She is a coach for the US Speed Skating Team and was a member of the coaching staff in Vancouver. She was awarded the Ikkos Medal by the 4 members of the Team Pursuit team. Here is her email to us telling us of the award. "To my surprise and...

    Fishing in Florida

    First. I want to take no credit for bringing the cold weather to Florida on my visit here. It will be colder here in the morning than it will be in Seattle! Has anyone in these parts (south Florida) ever fished the Tamiami Trial for snook on the west side, or bass etc on the east side? I may...

    Vessel Capacity Label

    Today while I was out boating, I was stopped by the local police department and asked if they could come along side and do a vessel safety check. No problem. I gave them my registration and my Coast Guard Aux Vessel Safety Check paperwork, and they did a visual check and asked some questions...

    winter cruising canvas enclosure for 19

    I have been thinking of adding more enclosed space in my 19 for winter cruising, without having to put up the full camper back. The drop curtain really restricts the usable cabin space. I would like to sit in a comfortable chair and stay warm at the same time. For those of you that have never...

    100 to 102 LL gasoline

    I re-read the thread that ccflyer started a while back on burning av gas in his honda. He did not report back as to how that worked out. I have about 15 gallons of 100 to 102 octane leaded race gas that Cordell had to drain out of his Allard because of a leak in the gas tank. He offered it to...

    16 Angler, first cruise

    I have no idea how many owners this 16 has had, but it went for a "first cruise" with the newest owners on Friday. This was my first real ride in a 16, and I must say I was very impressed! :thup :thup Fred and Robbin have had two 16's previous to this boat, so it is nothing new to them. I...

    Wanting to buy a 16 angler?

    In the last day and a half, there have been four C-Dory 16 anglers show up on Craigs List in Seattle. Two are no longer listed, one for sure sold, leaving a 1991 and a 2007. The 1991 showed up late last night. Sounds like another good deal. If you are looking for a 16 as several people have...

    Orcas Landing dock space.

    Just got a copy of this article about Orcas Landing, a new public dock space near the Orcas Island Ferry Dock. This is good news for all who cruise in the San Juans. It is free to moore for up to 4 hours, not sure what businesses are close by, but it will provide a stopping point for walks, bike...
