Multiple Cape Dory Sightings

Post by gates_cliff »

I sail out of Galesville, MD on the West River. Was out yesterday for awhile. Not the best sailing day but better than nothing!

Anyway, saw 4 other CDs, a Typhoon (Just "pretty as a picture"), a 25D, a Motor Sailor (I had never seen one before so was intrigued), and another that appeared to me to be about 40'. This last one was obviously equipped for long distance cruising, had a wind vane, etc. Oh, there's also a nice CD 28 on the same dock where I am.

The Typhoon was heading out of the same marina where I am, and looked pristine. I hadn't noticed it before but there's another marina adjacent with a restaurant so maybe they had just come for something. Wish my boat looked as good!

I had no idea there was such a concentration of CDs in that area.
