Thank you! We look forward to the delivery.

HI All, I’m not sure exactly what people’s plans are but here is what I’m doing. We will be departing the Toledo Waterfront park about 9:15. We will take up to 10 passengers so folks wishing to ride w

Dan, Feel free to tie up at the Port of Toledo Transient docks, just north of the WREC boathouse. There is no fee and there will be several of the retired old guys there most of the day today. Joe

HI Teresa, The retired guys will be there tomorrow from 10:00 until 2 or 3:00. Let me know if that doesn't work for you and we will make sure someone is there at a better time. Joe

I"m sorry - the date is Sunday December 5th. Joe

Hi All. We will be hosting a memorial for David West on Sunday December 6th at 11:00 AM. We will have an open mic for people to share their thoughts about Dave. At 12:30 the family will join a boat pa

John - agreed. Both engines were working fine. It was a political decision. The brass figured people would wonder why they were decommissioning a boat that could make it all the way to Ilwaco under it

Jim’s cookies!!!! He was such a nice man. I’m so sad.

I'm sorry I missed out on this conversation. I was the boatkeeper and a coxswain on the Victory in '77 & '78. It was a tank - I was never worried about its capabilities in any situation. I had a few m

Hi Guys, I'm sorry I've not been up to date on this thread. Something is goofy with my email and all the Coot messages, both from the group and individuals have been going into a file called coots nev

John is understating the sailability of that stretch of water. The wind always blows either straight upriver or downriver. There is not room to tack so you will go wherever the river blows you, unless

Josh - I’m so happy for you. It was meant to be, I’m glad it is working out - she is truly a Good Girl! Joe PS - John’s advice about tell tales is spot on! After 50 years of sailing I still use them.

Greetings All, Good Girl has new caretakers. Recent Coots members Rose and Josh Mead took ownership on Thursday. Good Girl will be staying in Eugene and on Fern Ridge until the water runs out. Rose an

I’m sorry - I don’t. I’ll be back in Eugene next Sunday through Thursday and can take pictures then. Joe

Hi All, I’m sure some of you know this boat. Andrew Linn spent a lot of time really sprucing her up with new rigging and a new weighted centerboard. I’ve had the boat just about a year and have kept h
