Well, we are almost from SoCal here in Lake Havasu. Actually about 3 miles east of SoCal! :-) I don't know of any organized Monty specific events, but a number of us hook up occasionally with the Socal Potters group to argue over who has the best boats. (ok, ok we don't actually argue! just get together and have a great time.) We are taking Dauntless over to join them in their Anacapa Island sail out of Channel Islands Harbor in two weeks. I believe that Norm Bundeck is also going to try to make it with his M15. We had a great time last year. Fu Shing Pan also brings his Mboat and joins the group very regularly. Every month the group sails out of another Socal venue. Here's a link to our webpage from last years trip. The group split in half with some of us sailing up to Ventura for lunch and sightseeing and the rest of the group heading out to the islands. _http://pic1.piczo.com/havasumontgomerys/?g=26486404&cr=1_ (http://pic1.piczo.com/havasumontgomerys/?g=26486404&cr=1) and the link to the Socal Potters Page is _http://www.howies.net/socalpotter/_ (http://www.howies.net/socalpotter/) They are a really fun group. Let's get some more Montys there! Sean and Jo M23 Dauntless ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
