Hello C-Brats,
I have been a forum member for a while, but this is my 1st post. I just wanted to introduce my wife, Cheryle and I and to tell you all how much we enjoy the forum. I continue to be impressed by the knowledge and humor of this group and your willingness to share it.
We bought a 2000 CD 22 about a year ago and have managed to squeeze out 30 days on it over the year. This CD was a “commuter” configuration with port and starboard bench seats plus the copilot and helm seats for a total of six. We liked the ‘roominess’ of this setup and wanted to modify it to suit or needs. I have been making mods since day 1 and am still working on it. I have retained the ability to seat 6 in the pilot house, when needed for grandkids, but have added a galley and Wallis for living aboard. I hope to post some BEFORE and AFTER pics before too long.
We especially want to thank Chris Custer, C Weed, who was gracious enough to meet us at Lake Martin to show us his CD 22 and give us a great short course on its pros and cons. Meeting Chris, reading the forum and understanding the many attributes of this unique little pocket cruiser made our decision easy.
With retirement a little over a year away, we think of little else but cruising on the CD. There is a lot to learn first, but our ultimate dream is to do the Great Loop. Our short-term dream, is to meet our inspiration, Bill and El.
We are really excited about the CD Gathering on the Cumberland in April and can’t wait to meet some fellow brats.
Happy Cruising…..
Richard & Cheryle
and Chester (fuzzy kid)
