ROUGH CROSSING of the STRAITS OF GEORGIA with our C-Dory 22! FOUND the elusive 29er HARDTAIL.

Decided we'd make a run back to Blaine Washington seeing that the winds were going to pick up over the weekend. This would give us a weather window to make the crossing of the Straits of Georgia. Not exactly calm...

Bananas on a boat! You are lucky you made the crossing :0

[@GayeNRobert]

Haha - Yeah, good thing we have the C-Dory. Makes life easy on the water! Enjoy your day

[@idahobob180]

I had the 30' c-dory really nice. the smaller c-dory's are great on fuel but are wave pounders.

[@GayeNRobert]

We love the C-Dory and do not get the wave pounding with the trim tabs

[@ben3989]

I put a permatrim plate on my cd22 with a Honda 90 and you can really push the sharp bow into the straight on seas. It’s the best mod I’ve made to this boat. I take my “Tater Tot” 50 miles out into the pacific off Oregon and feel so confident in it.

[@GayeNRobert]

Hi Ben - Agreed! The Permatrim plate is very nice. Made a huge difference for us. Have a nice weekend

[@justinbradfield6499]

Nice boat man !!!!!!

[@GayeNRobert]

Thanks Justin. We definitely love our C-Dory 22. Fun boat. Have a great day!

[@haroldconnell2973]

Smooth is nice

[@GayeNRobert]

Hi Harold - Agreed - we love calm sea's!

[@sonogong]

What were the wind/swell/tide conditions when you made the crossing? Is there an ideal range that you are looking for? I imagine that the middle of the strait can get very rough! I am also a CD22 owner and I made a few trips out to Swiftsure Bank last week and noticed that the conditions can be quite variable. And thanks for the videos!

[@LawrenceBroussard]

No clue how I found your channel, but curious what your fuel economy is with the twin 50's? Also why are you running a kicker with twins? I looked but so far I can't find the performance information on your channel!

[@markbriley]

Hi Guys - love the channel. I know this is a bit off-topic, but where did you get your transom-mounted boarding ladder?

[@GayeNRobert]

Hey Mark! It's been 13 years since we put that on but I believe it was from Defender.com. thank you for watching have a great weekend!

What husband lets his wife pull anchor?

[@nwmi493]

I dont see any radar target enhancer units avail . sea me is out of business ??

[@AJourneyOfYourSoul]

About what speed were you cruising at there?

[@GayeNRobert]

We were on and off the throttle, shutting it down in between big waves... About 20 knots. We feel the C-Dory handles very well in all sorts of conditions compared to our other boats we have had. Thank you for the question and for watching!!

[@JohnBraman413]

what engines you running?

[@GayeNRobert]

Hi John - twin 2009 Honda 50's BF50 EFI. They've run great over 500+ hours each. Hopefully just the start.

[@emsimpson10]

Did you get a windlass for your c-dory?

[@GayeNRobert]

we did not...Gaye is the windlass🤣
