The Montgomery San Juan / Gulf Island cruises ran from 2004 to 2013 and ended when I retired as trip leader. All it needs to get started again is someone to step up and take over as planner and organizer. The cruises were a lot of fun and we had boats coming from all over, but eventually I had to limit the number of boats that could sign up to 20 (you can't sail into a crowded anchorage with 40 boats and expect things to go well). We had quite a group of regulars and I had hoped the cruises would continue, but planning one of these takes a lot of time and effort and most people are too busy. We did not merge with any other group, so those that still have their boats are still around and would probably be interested in doing it again. I still sail the islands every year, but with a small group of good friends. We like to go to new places every year and have been working our way north past the Gulf Islands - sailing the Sunshine Coast, Princess Louisa Inlet, Desolation Sound, and this year three weeks in the Broughton Archipelago. If anyone on this list is interested in starting up the San Juan cruise again, feel free to contact me if you have questions about the previous cruises.

So Steve....about that....😇
I heard that the Montgomery owners group is not really doing owners group cruises in Puget Sound any more. Is that because the group has been more or less rolled up into the Potter Yachters? I really want to do as many group sails as possible, I think it’s so much more fun sailing with a group, and I’m hoping to see a lot of Montys on the water. I’m signed up for the Salish 100, and will do the Palooza Crooza, but I’m hoping for more group sails throughout the summer. Maybe we need to resurrect the owners group cruise?
Looking forward to this summer!
