HI Bill, Sounds interesting .Have a great time. Also nice to hear of the variety of boats . Since retirement have owned and refurbished for fun 2 Sirens, the keel version of the DS 16 and 2 Compac 16's, the last of which, sold in June, is now sailed on the North Channel by a chap from Sudbury. My sailing is done at a nearby club on the lower Ottawa as I do not own a tow vehicle. Fair winds RTH. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Wickett Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2011 9:33 PM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: 2 weeks of "Makin' Time" Hi Robert, Ruff Ruff is on Bark Lake north from Bancroft on #62. We usually launch on the south end off of the Papineau Lake Rd. Just east of Maple Leaf. Could also launch at the north end at Madawaska on #60 The event is held in July and Aug on the weekend closest to the full moon. So this is Ruff Ruff Deux. Will be 7-10 boats. Sirens, DS16 and 20, Sirius 21. Would be great to have another Monty next year. Lets keep in touch. Bill On 8/11/11, Robert Hall <bert.hall@rogers.com> wrote:

We are rolling out tomorrow with Makin' Time in tow.
First stop is to Ruff Ruff, a small boat get together in eastern Ontario. Always the full moon weekend of August. 7-10 boats show up. 11 miles of a fresh water lake, without very few occupants to disturb.
We plan a full moon sail on either or both Fri and Sat nights. Base is a small island that we all nose into at night for a campfire, and associated good times.
Monday, we will haul out and head NW to Little Current on Manitoulin Island. Will launch at Spyder Bay Marina there and depending on the weather either head east to Killarney, or west along the North Channel of Lake Huron. Hope to get in both directions over the balance of the next 2 weeks.
Boat is pretty well loaded and in good shape. The oppressively hot and humid weather has cleared out so we expect higher and more variable winds. Kind of like the summer has turned the corner towards...(dare I say...fall? NOT!! yet)
Tell you about later.
