We have long thought that the Cape Dory 28 would be the most perfect boat for the cruising we want to do in our retirement. (4 years, 2 months to go.)

I'm swearing off eBay Motors. Don't even tell me if they've got the greatest deal in the world closing in 15 minutes 2 miles from my house. I don't want to know.

We have sometimes been absolutely overwhelmed by the kindness we have experienced within the boating community. Cape Dory owners are certainly no exception.We had some questions about our CD22 and were hoping we could get some help from one of the previous owners. The builders plate had Ted Wasmuth's name engraved on it.

We had a 25' power boat in winter storage (our first experiment with stink pots, a big mistake) and a 28' Pearson Triton project boat in the back yard (an abandoned boat that was given to us - - and that will soon be finding it's way into a 30 yard dumpster enroute to the landfill). In the process of looking we had been offered 3 other FREE boats, which we decided not to take, none of them were quite ...]]> tag:blog.oldragbaggersonline.com,2007-07-19:ba5eba1c-1bd8-4571-9e82-b309df0eb54f Lance and Becky Williams oldragbaggers@comcast.net 2008-04-20T08:06:52Z 2007-07-19T09:31:00Z

The mover showed up when promised and delivered the boat here to MD on the date agreed. Everything arrived in good order. We were extremely pleased with the cost and the service and I would not hesitate to recommend Load A Boat to anyone.

one evening recently we were sitting at the kitchen table with our grand children talking about rebuilding the boat. The kids wanted us to explain to them exactly how she got all that terrible damage. We started describing the awesome power of a hurricane and some of the things that the boat might have gone through. Our 7 year old granddaughter looks at us and says "boy, that boat is one tough cookie". PERFECT!! We knew right away that "Tough Cookie" had to be her new name.
