Frank, I'd think you have more choices for sailing venues than you can shake a stick at, being in Ontario. Probably the hard part is deciding WHICH one to choose from. Of course for regular sailing you'd want something not too far away, but otherwise: Georgian Bay, North Channel, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario (I understand the area between Belleville and Kingston is real nice), or way east you could always visit the Saguenay River mouth on the St. Lawrence for all the marine life. And that doesn't even touch on the myriad of smaller inland lakes to choose from or, in the event you are up north, Superior, Lake of the Woods, etc. You have a beautiful province! And of course, as Bill and others mentioned, you could always head south of the border for a different sort of sailing. Although my sailing season is ended to start on a project boat, I normally sail out of Sandusky, Ohio and perhaps next summer we could cross paths on Lake Erie. I've been over to Leamington before; they have a very nice village marina.

In this hectic world ,they represent peace and simplicity.Any thoughts on a M15..tips..must haves etc as well as great trailer cruising spots would be appreciated.I prefer less people-more scenery to busy locations. I'm based in Ontario Canada.Bob tells me another couple from London Ontario have also ordered one. Should make shipping east a lil cheaper. _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
