4 day cruise in Oct - Chesapeake Bay
by Doug Kelch 28 Sep '08

28 Sep '08

It looks like we have 4 or 5 boats for a 4 day cruise on the lower part of the Chesapeake Bay Oct. 10 - 13th. If anyone would like to join up, drop me a note off list. We had 3 boats on a superb Cruise on the Eastern Bay of the Chesapeake while the Apostle island cruise was going on. Friday and Saturday were partly cloudy with 15 - 20 kt winds and nice cool 70 deg temps. Absolutely delightful days to play in the bigger waves and wind in an M15. Thanks Doug Kelch M15 "Seas the Day" doug_kelch(a)yahoo.com

Puget Sound sailors favor to ask
by Bobbie Mayer 27 Sep '08

27 Sep '08

I'm trying to find a high resolution photo or scan of a NOAA chart that includes Puget Sound up to the south part of Whidbey. My charts are all up in Washington. Can someone take a photo or scan of one of their charts? It will be the background for a photo collage and needs to be sharp at 9 x 12 inches so fairly high resolution. Exactly what is shown doesn't really matter. Please email to me at barbaram (at) csufresno.edu Thanks! Bobbie

Hello, Randy Watkins here, "new" old Mboat sailor. My recent, current boat is a M15, "Becca Anne", based in central Texas. My past M15 was #194, "Crystal Sea". Looking forward to sailing with you all in the future.

Re: M_Boats: problems?

I was just wondering that myself? Hopefully everyone is out on the water squeezing out that last bit of sailing before the the weather turns. I almost went out myself today, but decided to finish up some home improvement projects instead. The weather here has shown no hint of fall, today it got into the high 80s in parts of S. Cal. So I'm thinking I'll get my little sailing fix on Thursday :) Fair Winds Mark E M17F/D #103 AMY ----- Original Message ---- From: Arnold Sharpe <afsharpe(a)mac.com> To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats <montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 3:55:46 PM Subject: M_Boats: problems?

Hello Gordon, Just briefly viewed the pictures of the cruise, beautiful! I knew you folks were getting great weather because I was experiencing the same in central WI. Next trip when I attend, you'll have THREE yellow hulls to chase you! I recognized all the areas you visited being there on previous trips. Fun stuff indeed. Thanks, Bones ____________________________________________________________ Great rates on vacations. Book now! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/fc/Ioyw6i3nJgx3Fa0HjEZfLDj1U1JTanB…

As both a Montgomery 15 owner and an oil painter (once full-time, then I had to start paying bills), I find the work displayed to be extraordinary. Wonderful expression of light, and realistic veracity in the vessels and the environment. In another "thread," some are recounting a just-completed sailing adventure in the Apostles on Lake Superior. Those close enough to have taken that in are close enough to check out a fantastic maritime art museum in Winona, Minnesota. A ton of dough put into a swell museum on the west bank of the Mississippi, in a rivertown, with maritime artwork and artifacts of surprising caliber. Check it out at: http://www.mnmam.org/ Maybe there's a niche for paintings of Montgomerys asea. Or at least one or two, to be added to the sail/sale-able gallery offerings. ************** Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges?
