There's more to a C-Dory than simply a great fishing platform. The boats
have
developed a reputation for comfortable and reliable "couples cruising" in
the
Northwest. Some boaters might be surprised at Dick Espe's plan to run to
Ketchikan in his new 25-footer, but the concept wouldn't seem at all
unusual to
veteran C-Dory enthusiasts.

Another good story. Thanks for sharing it.

Have you read "River Horse" by William Least Heat-Moon? It's about his
"voyage across America" in a 1995 22' C-Dory. He started from Manhattan and
cruised (nearly) all the way across the U.S. to the mouth of the Columbia
River. It's a good read.
