John, Thanx for the information. I would like to join the Montgomery group with my M-15 group in Olympia for a day sail going or coming on Saturday August 30, and/or Saturday September 13. I do know from experience that the boat launch in downtown Olympia at Swantown is much more user friendly at hightide and not very user friendly at low tide. So I will suggest that you try to do your launching and outhauling around the time of high tide, which will be at 9:26 AM on the 30th, then at 9:48 AM on the 13th. Do you have Puget Sound tide tables and charts?

An Introduction Hi Steve: Sorry for the delay; setting up the new boat is very busy work but we had our maiden launch and sail yesterday (and the "to do" list is even longer : -). I'm sailing Puget Sound with a group of Monty and Potter guys from the Bay Area. For now, most of us are launching at Olympia on Saturday Aug 30 and making our way to Port Townsend for the boat show the fo;;owing weekend, then returning to Olympia by the weekend of Sat Sept 13. I'm sure the group wouldn't mind meeting you for some "local knowledge". John -----Original Message-----

John, When do you plan to sail Puget Sound? What part of the Sound? Steve M-15 # 335 South Puget Sound

Hi All: After Larry Hughston’s kindly-worded post, perhaps it’s time I introduce myself. After buying an M12 and converting it to a tanbark gaff sloop (“Mojo”; Havasu vet ’12 & ’13) and buying a Gunter-rigged 1969 Potter 14 ("Hobbes"; Mexico vet with Paul Bear and his M17 Pequeña, Florida vet with Dan Phy and his restored 12’ Pelican, and the recent Cruiser Challenge, dead last but rescuing the capsized P15) I decided to buy Larry’s M15 “Old 189”. I’ve renamed her “At Last” (the Etta James song) for my wonderful girlfriend. My first outing later this month will be Puget Sound with Dan Phy and The Usual Suspects with many more to come. Lastly, a warm thanks to Monty sailing friends, old and new! Fair winds to all, John Chille M12 Mojo P14 Hobbes M15 At Last Ventura, CA PS: A friend spotted an M15 here at the launch ramp on Tuesday. If you know them I’d like to meet them.
