[Didereaux]

Didereaux is the handle.  I sail a Cape Dory 25 (disquised at pesent as a fishing smack), mostly in and around Galveston Bay.  Mainly a solo sailor.

That's what I'm still trying to figure out!  I think I was "gang pressed" to here!

I mean I was minding my own business, working on my boat, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and all that, and then I heard a noise and suddenly, saw stars and blacked out!

When I came to, here I found myself, hungry and thirsty, unceremoniously dumped on the floor with my clothes torn and dirty and bruises from rough handing all over me.  I'm still stuck here trying to find my way out!  For some reason, the back of my head hurt!

Shut up and ROW!  >:( >:( >:(

Hello to all here. I have just registered abd posted one pic of my boat. Hope to explore more when time allows. I have owned Triska my Alberg 29 for 3 years. She is presently located in Tacoma Wa. I sail with the Lats&Atts group here in the PNW. I found your site through a post there.

Welcome. I heard good things about a Cape Dory. I had thought of one myself...

[STARDATE2010]

Saw it on L & A and Renegades BB's.
Nice board so far.   Keep up the good work.

Welcome aboard, Alan! :) Glad you are here. :)

Dougcan - "Gang pressed"? I'll show you "gang pressed", you _Moderator_. ;D
'Bout time you showed up and started posting! Where's the R, she oughta be here too, right? :)

[CapnK]

Hello and Welcome, Didereaux!

Which version of the CD25 do you have? I looked for a 25D back when I was shopping, but there were none to be had. I'm glad now that I didn't find on, being perfectly happy with the Ariel, but those are some shippy little vessels. :)

We had some transient through the marina earlier, two couples on 2 CD's - a 30 and a 25. Of course, I had to row over in the dinghy and introduce myself when I saw them tied up on the transient dock and recognized what type of vessel they were. :) Older couple on the bigger boat, youngsters on the smaller one. They'd been cruising in tandem since they'd met earlier in the year, and were southbound after a summer up on the Chessy. Nice folks, nice boats.

[CapnK]

Hi Jack!

*Very* nice boat! I'd love to see one of those in person. There was a Whidby (sp?) 30 in the marina earlier this year for a couple of months, which were also built in Canada, but are a much older Alberg design.

The man could draw some sweet lines. ;D

[CapnK]

As for the fat man, he and I are in presently in negotiations regarding wind vanes and cabin heaters so might I just suggest tightening the cunningham and sheeting the main to windward a bit further?

Well, I guess proximity does have its rewards...

* CapnK grumbles as he pulls out the handy billy...

;D

Maybe you can move my previous post to another spot so members will read it?

Jack Tar here. My wife Ruth and I sail out of Tacoma Washington. Our Yar boat is an Alberg 29 with Blue hull. Hope to see you on the water.

[Jack Tar]

Ahh a fine vessel the Cape Dory line is. I have a good friend with a 28 called Sea Dragon.

[Jack Tar]

Links list ?

[Jack Tar]

Is Washington close enough LOL. Albin Vega. Great boat if you can find one in decent shape.

[Dougcan]

Gee thanks!  :)

Only problem is so far there's nothing to modeate!  ;D  This is a great crew we have here so far!

R just got Inet in her place, She should be coming here any day now!

Cheers and thanks for the grog! (hic!)

[Adam]

Yep, same Adam as from L&A.... I don't think the Albin is going to work out, I was in line behind another buyer...

real bummer... he was willing to owner finance and the delivery would have involved going out past my canal markers and bringing it a few hundred yards to my dock!!!

Oh well, fingers are still crossed!

;D
