Monty's have been doing a June Chesapeake Bay Cruise/Rondevous for several years. I've attended two of them and had a great time...except for the part about it being 95 degrees...98% humidity....and no wind in June. The last time I was there (2003), Doug Kelch (organizer extrodinaire!!!!!) suggested we may want to consider moving the annual event to a fall cruise. The Hess Fest fit the criteria, so I committed. Warm weather, with a hint of fall and color in the trees and good prospects for some decent wind. It's being held at Vera's. All the big Hess boats....and now Bob is coming. Shaping up to be the best event yet. Imagine...a fleet of 20 some odd Monty's...outsailing the entire fleet! (PS: If someone would spring for a case of the good stuff....we might entice Mr. M himself to show up.) (PSS: Jerry...I carry a canvas tarp. I'll flip you for the cockpit!)

Rick,
The Hess Fest is not just for Montgomery boats.
The Official information is at the following web site:

There was enough Montgomery interest that an impromptu 9 - 13 Montgomery boat cruise is becoming part of it.
Thanks

Would someone please help the uninitiated here? I've been reading bits and pieces about the Hess Fest and the rally/cruise for the Montgomery boats. Is this only a gathering for us M owners or is there some larger event of which we would be a smaller contingent? I've searched the web, but only found a thread of this list started by Doug.
Thanks, First year owner,
