David, It might be hard to join the group on Monday because the overnight stop is at a side channel on the land cut of the ICW which is in the middle of nowhere between Port Mansfiedl and Corpus Christi. Tuesday would be less of a problem since the second overnight is the Padre island Yacht club. I will be a first time participant so am not too sure of many of the details. I suggest you check the website www.texas200.com for information. Chuck Leinweber of Duckworks is the organizer and would be able to answer questions about scheduling. It would be nice to have a couple of Montys there. Ron M17#14 (fin Keel) Griselda
