I may be dredging up an old question, but I am new to your group. Do many of you sail powered by only oars and sails? I know many of you are schedule limited, but would you consider that option if you were not? Bill

We have been working hard on the new 23, as you can see. But... We had a new Montgomery 17 available and we sold it to Richard Hill from Utah. The boats name is "Breakaway" (Ivory with blue, very nice) We are installing a locker divider on the port side starting with this boat. Welcome Richard... So we now have another 17 were starting to mold and it will be available shortly. (if anyone is interested) We just shipped "Kari B and C", a Montgomery 15 to New Jersey and we also have a completed Montgomery 15 ready now and another 15 shortly in about 2 weeks. (one of the 15s will be refund) So if anyone is interested in a new 15 or 17 give a call or email. I can email photos if your interested. Fair winds Bob (949) 489-8227

Turk's Head Knot

Tod: In case you haven't put one together yet, try this site: http://www.northnet.org/ropeworks/archive/turkhed.html I've got to remember how to do it, since I have to tie one to cover the button on the new leather for my sculling oar. Howard

Off to a good start

Just a quick note about the trip. The start was delayed for 10 days while I took care of some medical problems, but it finally got underway last week. I am in the Beaufort (NC) area of the Pamlico Sound and the trip has already been an adventure. I'll put together the first real update shortly. Also I'll be writing six articles for the Small Craft Advisor about the trip, and the first one should be in their July - Sept Issue. John Edwards Miss T M17 # 372

Re: M_Boats: ICW Cruising for Dougies

Hi Joe... I use an old (3 years??) Olympus D-320R digital camera. It's only got 1.3 megapixels, but it does most (90%) of what I want out of a camera. Built-in flash, 3 different resolutions, starting at the most common 640x480. 8mb memory card that gives 102 (or is it 112??) pix at 640 rez. It's macro mode gets down to about 3 inches, and it'll also take sequence pix. Comes with a cord to connect to your PC, and another so you can display the pix on your TV. Uses 4 AA batteries...I use 4 NmH batteries from Radioshack. Idano what the latest model of this is. And I doubt that you'll need more then 1.3 Mpixels unless you're a photo bug as well and want to make great looking 8x10 enlargements from your color inkjet printer. Harvey/Ga M-17 Stargazer #294

Cordell, Let's try this again. I use to keep my M17 at Kims marina on Canyon ferry. Later on I kept it at another marina about 10 miles from Kims on the far side of the lake. Had some very good times there, and a few frightening ones too. Hope you have a great time sailing. John Edwards M17 # 372 Miss T

Steve, Turks head knots are the sort of things you do on a rainy day; at anchor; or tied to the dock; or when the wind is blowing like stink and you decide staying in the marina is better than being OUT THERE! .......or you are becalmed ......or the Admirable is asleep and you want to do something, but something where you won't disturb her. Turks head knots are not very high on the "Must Do" list, but they are fun to learn to make. Connie
