ALONE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA?

New member
My wife and I live about 25 miles south of Daytona Beach, on the Atlantic side of the state, and never see other C-Dorys along the Intra-Coastal Waterway, or on the St. Johns River. We saw tons of them on an Alaskan cruise last summer...! I guess Florida is a long way from Alaska. Everybody who sees our boat, whether at a ramp, gas station, or at a light, comments on how cute, cozy, neat, etc., the boat is. What I would like to find out, is if there are other 22 Cruiser owners in the area. If you're out there, give me a shout...!! Thanks. CAPTAINRIVER@JUNO.COM
 
"Alone in Central Florida" -- feels that way, doesn't it?

I'm on the opposite coast, almost straight across from you. Enjoy the CD -- weather is great for it now (and I too end up giving impromptu tours of mine everytime I launch it . . . part of the fun)

Fried Okra
Fried Catfish
Fried Gator
Fried Dilla
Fried Catfish

Skip---I will contact you when I get to my place in Melbourne Beach, next month. I'm not really that far from you. I'm planning on spending some time on both the eastern & western sides of the Fla. intercoastal water way and possibly some time on the inland lakes. Rich

The answer to your vessels change of name may be found by "clicking" on the "Forum" section, then scroll down to "Documents", "click" again, then scroll down to "Denaming Ceremony", after reading, go back and "click" on "Christening Ceremony"................all the answers to your questions are just a few "clicks" away... :lol:
 
Looking at the "Our C-Dorys" link and sorting on the state.... FL has 43 members signed up on the C-Brat site... and like all other states...some simply do not sign up but we know they are in there....

I would love to do a FL gathering and accomplish something I have always wanted to do...and that is to "Cross The Ditch" and go from Stuart, thru Lake Okeechobee, and out the other side on out to Sanibel.

Could be done from either side...with time on each side.... then, for the logistics of the tow vehicles, we do like Bill and Ell.... and simply put the boats in the water, bring 1/2 the tow vehicles or how many are needed to get tow vehicle drivers back across to the launch ramp, drive across the state, load the boats.

Say....Feb/Mar 06??? Who is ready other than me.

Wanderer and Fred's TomCat will be down at Marathon. Looks like there could be a Gathering with plenty of fried viddles down there in the Sunshine State. Good idea, Byrdman! Round 'em up!
 
and we're here in St Pete. Also there's a new member right near you in Edgewater/New Smyra Beach called CaptainRiver...... seems like we may have enough people for a gathering right here in Florida..... I'd bet we'd get some wannabe "snow birds"........... :roll:
 
Dang :crook just reread the first message and realize that you ARE CaptainRiver..............get confused with all these "different" names people use....... BUT I was right it was close to you!! :embarrased

Byrdman.... how did you do that sort by State.... when I tried, best I could get it to do was sort by "region", but that really gives you a sort by city if the member filled in his profile...
 
Do not go to the Memberlist link...... use the Our C-Dory link instead. It has better defined "fields" or "columns" of data... like state in a column of its own. And for those of you who know me, yes...I am putting it on a spreadsheet..... and will have available...but it may take me a day or two. Both big weekends for Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child, and possibly another truck load of donated items for the Gulf Coast may take me away from my laptop for a day or two....

Now on the gathering... The one we put together in Nashville/Mt. Juliet TN for the Cumberland River/Old Hickory lake.... drew boats from CA, FL, CO, AL, TN, .....and where ever SEAPO3 Joel is from.... Sorry Joel.... I want to say some coastal island based on your shirts....grin.

Set one up...and they will show...and...the smaller ones for extended cruising would be a bit easier to "manage".... if that is the right word here.... sort of like hearding cats.. :hug :cat :cat :cat :hug2 :smileo :smilep
 
This trip sounds like it coluld fit in real well for us, as it's just what we have been planning. Nanci's dad is on the west coast, in Sarasota, and will be having a celebration for his mom's 100th birthday on or about Feb 21. He offered to drive our truck and trailer to the east coast for us, (Nice guy, huh?) so that we can criuse the ditch and see other friends on the east coast. So count us in as one of the snowbird wannabees.
 
hi everyone I hope to have the duck/jennykatz ready by then new canvas 90hp yami or suzi and some upgrades end of feb or mar would be better but let me know thanks JIM on duck/jennykatz

He took his shoes off, and made his wife count when he got over twenty. He's still not sure how she got the extra three. :mrgreen:

Good News about Florida gatherings! Bulldog Boatwerks in FT. Myers Florida is presently planning a gathering for Florida C-Dory Boaters. The theme and plan is to Bring the East & West coast brats together. Bulldog became a C-Dory Dealer last September. Recieved the first Boats in November and has enjoyed record sales since. We are in the process of selecting the location and then will plan the date after obtaining feed back from anyone interested in joining in on the fun. Bulldog Boatwerks will handle all the C-Dory needs for the West Coast of Florida except for the pan Handle. More to come from the BigDog
