Title: New boat to the fleet
Post by: Tim on August 25, 2014, 10:13:16 AM
Well,"he has gone and done it" For our further cruising in the Inside Passage we now have the M/V "Wild Blue" a 2007 C-Dory Cruiser. Though not a sail boat it is "Sail Far" in that it is small and simple, so I am hoping it will be appropriate to report on our month long cruise coming up in September.

Very nice boat Tim. I've been aboard her when Jim and Joan stayed here once. She's had outstanding care.

Why, doesn't yours?  ;D Actually has dual heat, electric plug in at dock, and a Wallas diesel stove. The best part is if it gets too cold I can throw it on the trailer and head for Lake Powell ;)

....or Florida, cross and cruise the Abacos!! Perfect shallow water cruiser. Biil n Ruth cruised their Cdory 22 for several years there. Both loved it!

So...how does it feel to "come out of the closet"   ;D

Congrats to you, as well. Seems like a good combination of room, trailerability, and nice lines.  :)

Great power cruiser! I have always wanted a small trawler but unfortunately fuel prices would keep me at the dock! :( Look forward to following the trip

Good to see you are enjoying "Wild Blue" and getting to stop and enjoy yogurt on all those islands, although I cannot figure out why you always eat your yogurt standing up or in some other posture that just seems odd/weird for eating...
