The Pacific Sail Expo will be taking place this Wednesday 04/17/02 through Sunday 04/21/02 at Jack London Square in Oakland CA. I’m planning to launch Alina Thursday evening at the Grand Street ramp in Alameda and spend Thursday night through Sunday morning guest berthed at Marina Village. Should be a great weekend of estuary/bay sailing and boat gawking! It would be great to have other Montgomerys to sail with.

Alina just got back from a few days at Jerry Montgomery’s shop where she received a new Harken roller-bearing traveler and a few other little modifications. Needless to say, Jerry does very fine work! He seems to really know his way around the M-17… Guess having built several hundred of them helps J

Hope to see some of you at the Sail Expo this weekend.

Fair winds,
