Cape Dory 28' named Adventure. Leaving Duck Creek Marina Thursday, September 28th out of New Bern North Carolina. Planned 4 days to Jacksonville Florida. Spend the night in Jacksonville seeing old friends there in downtown. Then taking the ICW to Daytona Beach where I have a slip. 1 crew + a small p...

If there is anyone in the New Bern, NC that is willing to come help out with boat projects please feel free to inquire. I know nothing about boat's and am simply winging it! So if you're in the area and can lend a hand checking systems or simply just want to hang in the boat yard, please reach out. ...

Okay UPDATE: Camco tank cleaner was a bust... Kind of. The device works well and without issue. The pressure was good. For 25 bucks and a 2 day delivery from Amazon, I think it can use it for something other than the tanks... eventually. The tanks didn't have much silt as I thought. They were staine...

Just adding my two cents -

I've gone through your post and there is a lack of pictures. Pictures. Pictures. Pictures.
People still eat with their eyes.

Sincerely,

Thanks

Sounds like you're livin' the dream. Lot's of happy boat owner stories to tell in the future. I'm in Ft. Lauderdale and live aboards here are disappearing fast. Best of luck but don't give up! Keep us posted. I will man. I almost bought a boat in Ft. Meyers. Ended up buying a boat in NC, on a lake....

Google has provided 90% of the information I have needed. But a referral or personal experience goes a long way. I'm sure you can att...

I am looking for a liveaboard Marina, in North Carolina. I have a 28' Dory. I have a small dog. I am a single man that will be living on the boat with the dog. I need a good boatyard with a lift so I can do maintenance and repairs. (Painting, epoxy, gel coat repair) I need a Marina close to a town a...
