Hello all, I'm still on a high from the San Juan Rendezvous. It is really a pleasure to sail with other Montgomeries. On that note, I would like to pass along some opportunities for more get-togethers in the north Idaho / eastern Washington area. The Northwest Potters are having a rally on Lake Pend Orelle the weekend of August 20-22nd. There will be a few of us Monty's there and it's always a good time. Jon Martin is planning a group sail on the Columbia River near Walla Walla probably a weekend in September (date yet to be announced), and I'll be up on Priest Lake every weekend from July 10th through Aug. 9th, including the full week of July 24th to 31st. It would be a blast if anyone wanted to join me. Contact me if you're interested and we'll set something up. (We had a rally up at Priest a couple years ago. The trip report and pictures are on the web site. Gorgeous place!) Larry Yake M17 #200 Tullamore "In a power boat you get there faster. In a sailboat you're already there."
