I'd be a little concerned about the local cops trying to scam money for "illegal" overnight parking if you parked your trailer in "day use only" parking lot and anchored. I don't trust them. Seen a little unnecessary aggressive behavior by them the other week with a couple polite jet-skiers who were coming in at dusk (technically a violation) and just trying to load up and get home. Poor guys got held up for a good hour. I was worried I was going to attract their attention next as I was unrigging. I'd make sure and double check about where you can park overnight. ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Trapp <stevetrapp@Q.com> To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Sunday, September 4, 2016 11:23 AM Subject: Re: M_Boats: Fern Ridge Reservoir (Oregon) info for sailing later thismonth? I have slept on my M-15 in September at Fern Ridge, and I advise closing the hatch and putting stuff in the cabin or lockers because it may rain any night this this time of year. However, my experience on Fern Ridge is nearly 20 years ago.

Hi all, I think there are a couple or more Monty owners here who are familiar with Fern Ridge reservoir just west of Eugene, Oregon? I'm thinking of bringing my M17 "Pajarita" up there for a couple days' sailing later this month. Maybe as soon as before and/or after next weekend, as I need to be in the area on the 12th for sure, and possibly 11th. So if anyone can point me to where to contact for launch, marina, short-term slips/buoys, and best options for those if there are several, I'd much appreciate it! Also any info about how the sailing is this time of year, and, can one sleep on one's boat at anchor or mooring. Sailing with other Montys there would be icing on the cake if this works out for my schedule... :-) thanks, John S. -- John Schinnerer - M.A., Whole Systems Design -------------------------------------------- - Eco-Living - Whole Systems Design Services People - Place - Learning - Integration john@eco-living.net - 510.982.1334 http://eco-living.net http://sociocracyconsulting.com
