C-Dory Sightings

On my way to go kayaking in Tomales bay I saw a C-Dory going south on Hy 101 through San Rafael. Sunday 4/30 9:45am. Looked like a new boat.

So I'm trudging home, south bound on I5 around Woodland WA and I spots a C-Dory headed north. The name on the side was "Nancy H" anybody we know? :)
 
bncwaitr,

Yes that was me and a friend exploring the slough. I also saw 2 C-Dorys not far from the Grizzly Iland bridge. They looked like they are local boats to people that live or have cabins on the slough.

Where were you?

Steve,

I was fishing a little east of the Monty bridge from the shore. My C-Dory won't be here for another 2 weeks :sad My buddy saw you from afar and said "Now THAT'S the kinda boat you need!!" I said "yeah I know" that's why I ordered a 16'!!
 
In the land where the C-Dory is not common . . . Lake St. Clair (Michigan) . . . "Mack" was in the Boat Crew training class (U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary) that I helping with; I wasn't listening to him, as I talked with my son, until I thought I heard "Dory". Then, as we briefly introduced ourselves and talked about our boats, I mentioned by 22' Cruiser; he has a 19' Angler . . . so he had to drop by my slip and see the boat! As we were leaving my slip, a 19' Cruiser was being launched at the boat ramp . . . so we had to go over and talk C-Dory!! Since I knew the "C-Monkey" (16' Angler) was just over on the next street, my son and I stopped in to talk with "Karl" (we had emailed each other before, but had never really met) . . . and we talked more C-Dory!!
It was an out-of-the-C-Dory, mystical (actually, "Mystic", is a 22' up on the North Channel), experience!!!

[The water is soft, and, at 53-57 degrees, is as warm as it usually is at the end of May!!][/u]
 
After having dinner at Skyline Marina in Anacortes, Caryn and I decided to look at some of the houses on the hill overlooking the water. We spotted Playtime in the driveway. Nice looking boat, I think it was...green :wink:
 
bncwaite,

Congrats on the new boat!

I have seen several C-Dorys in marinas around the delta but I don't think the owners cruise this site. I was surprised to see the 22 and 16 anglers at the private docks just east of the Monty bridge. They look like they are used as workboats.

I use mine primarily for cruising when I can take longer vacations to PNW or lake Powell.

I will look for your boat when I get out again.

There is a guy/boat that goes by the name "Fish Wisher" that frequents a local fishing site I go to. He's usually around the Rio Vista area in his blue 19' angler.
 
bncwaite-

Fishwisher is Dale Gilliespie, the original founder of the C-Dory Owner's Group website, now archived on MSN. You can drop "Fishwisher" into Google and find his own website. He's quite a sturgeon fisherman in the Delta. That blue boat is a C-D 22 Angler, which has a shorter cab than a Cruiser, and can be mistaken for a 19 easily. Joe.
 
this morning I'm flipping through the Oregonian newspaper and low&behold on the front page of the sports page is a nice picture of the inter-tribal fish agency trying to scare of seal lions with their fire sticks. They where driving a C-Dory. http://www.oregonlive.com/
 
:lol: Yesterday morning my Son saw a C-Dory on Hwy. 20 heading to Fort Bragg, CA. Was unable to see a name but said it was white with blue trim and had no back. Thinking it must be a 16 or 22 angler.
 
I was passing over the New Melones Reservoir on Hwy 49, near Angels Camp, CA on 5/8 when I noticed a 22' Angler trolling just south of the bridge. Who was it? Inquiring minds need to know. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Incidently, I went home and told my wife that it was a sign that I needed to buy my own C-Dory. :thup She asked me who the sign was from. I told her that for me it was from God. :crook I then told her that for her, the sign was from the devil. :twisted: Unfortunately as usual, she (the CFO) was not impressed. :amgry Oh well, C-Fire Someday.
