Good gracious. Peeing in the lake David? Does Bill know about this? I have to believe dropping solid waste in a lake is a no-no about everywhere. Open ocean--different story. I almost convinced Larry Yake a couple of times the M15 is faster than the M17--matter of fact, in very light winds I believe it is. Not when it starts to blow, however. Now, could Jerry in an M15 beat me in an M17? I wouldn't bet against him... t Tom Smith & Jane VanWinkle M15/345--Chukar M17/496--Unnamed -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces+tsmith=nextit.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces+tsmith=nextit.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of David W. Wood Sent: Friday, August 19, 2005 9:45 AM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Subject: M_Boats: Boombox, etc. Thanks for the info on the Boombox, Tom. Since the v-berth space on my old M-15 doesn't seem to accommodate any of the newer porta- potties, that (with the Wag Bags) seems like a good alternative. And at the risk of descending even lower down the scatological ladder, I have a question about ecologically correct boating that I have not seen addressed anywhere. To put it bluntly: Is it OK to pee over the side (to leeward, of course) while sailing on an inland lake? My guess is that it's probably against various state and/or federal laws. But I'm just looking for confirmation here. And yes, it was a hoot sailing with our resident photo maven, Bill Lamica yesterday. He told me that he felt like my M-15 actually out- performed his (now Tom's) M-17. But I kept telling him that it probably just felt that way because he was so much closer to the water. :-P David =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= David W.
