San Juans "07
by Nebwest2＠aol.com 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

Hey Larry Mark and Roberta! A "one weeker" would actually work great for us. We figure that the travel time up to and back from the trip is going to take us four or five days so we could make the trip with two weeks off. This year we WILL be ready.The biggest issue for us is to get some dates set as early as possible so we can get our time off set-up. Larry, I know you have other stuff you want to do and that you've done this trip a number of times, so if it doesn't go we understand why....but if it does we'd sure like to participate. I'd love to see Dauntless sailing in the company of all those other Montys! Keeping our fingers crossed!!! Sean and 'Jo M23 Dauntless

whitewater and San Juans
by Larry E Yake 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

>>Anyone out there had their M15 doing 'whitewater?'. Close. I took my M17 through Deception Pass at full ebb tide. Big waves with whirlpools in the eddy lines. One member of the party I was sailing with above the pass got swept through with a broken motor, so I followed her through and towed her into Bowman Bay to repair her shear pin and wait for slack tide to go back through. >>Hey Larry! How 'bout San Juans '07?????????? We're keeping our fingers crossed! No plans made yet, but thinking about options. Would it be worth the trip up to the northwest for you (and any others interested) for a one week cruise in the San Juans? I could probably swing that, but another two week cruise is unlikely for me next year. What's the interest level out there? Larry

Re: Unknown M15 accessory
by John Butler 06 Nov '06

When I bought my M15 #361 from George Bunting last month, one of the "extras" was an item he received when he bought it, and never learned its purpose. Do any of you? It is a 27 1/4" LOA white Schedule 40 PVC pipe with a cap on each end, and a hole in one end cap with a loop of 1/4" bungee extending from it, obviously knotted on the inside. Obviously made with care, and for a purpose, but what purpose? John Butler, Rogers, Arkansas > Do it now.

Hey everyone, I¹m the the Trailer Sailor Forum. Craig (owner of a ComPac 16) and I have exchanged emails. I told him I took delivery yesterday, but didn¹t say we were going out today. I didn¹t know where on the lake he lived, but when I saw the boat docked at the house I assumed it was his. We came in for a closer look so I could show my boys his boat. In the photo I was looking at the house because I thought I saw someone in the window. And I guess I did. Joe Moore On 11/5/06 7:02 PM, "Nebwest2(a)aol.com" <Nebwest2(a)aol.com> wrote: > AWESOME!!!!!

I have heard that Jerry Montgomery is available to do rigging replacements for Montgomery boats. Ive gone to his web site and cannot find an address to send the old rigging! Has anyone used his services and know his address?

Joe, Looking at the pictures I could not help but notice the green lapstrake hull of the boat behind yours. Is that an Offshore M23 hull #2 by chance? The black hull of your M15 is quite beautiful, and different! Bones

Midnight Passage is Home!
by Joe Moore 04 Nov '06

04 Nov '06

I got a call shortly after noon from my shipper Troy Kennedy, "I'm in your driveway". Got the mast up about an hour later, Bob called to make sure it got here and everything was OK. Somewhat cold and the rain started. On hold for now. Hope to get some time on water tomorrow. Images of the journey that I've compiled over the last two months can be found here: http://www.jmoorephoto.com/images/M15_1.html

Fix it and Sail...
by Bill Lamica 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

I may be the only one who does not know about this. However, just in case there are others; I was surfing the members sites and just found out Brian Gilbert's book "Fix it and Sail" is available. Can be ordered from his website and a note will get his autograph on the inside cover. I love books autographed by the author! So, in case there is others interested... http://www.sailingsmall.com/ Look for the order Brian and thanks, Bill

North Channel Cruise
by htmills＠bright.net 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

I'm planning on a two week North Channel Cruise in mid June. I'll probably drive from Ohio to Tobermory, take the Chi-Cheemaun ferry over to South Baymouth (Manitoulin Island), and then drive to Little Current (Manitoulin Island) on Saturday June 5th. I might end up taking the ferry on the morning of the 6th depending on how late I hit the road. At the present time I'm thinking of making a general counter clockwise spin around the North Channel, launching at Spider Bay Marina in Little Current and going north and then west to the Bustard Islands and west and then crossing south to the west end of Manitoulin and returning east again. Of course, all plans are subject to the weather and whims of the person at the helm! Mid June will probably be a bit ahead of the crowd and still kinda nippy. There is some info on the area at: http://www.continuouswave.com/north-channel/ and here: http://www.continuouswave.com/sail-logs/ If anyone else is planning on a trip up there, perhaps we can meet up!
