Doug, Thanks for the heads up on the OBX 130. It sounds perfect. The routes cross thru some really skinny water, but I think a 16" or 19" draft should do well. I hope to do some sailing of this area. I've gone ahead and registered on the OBX 130 forum. Joe ps BTW, where/what is the North Channel 200?? jm SeaFrog M-17 #651 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Kelch" <doug_kelch@yahoo.com> To: "Montgomery" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 9:10 AM Subject: M_Boats: Texas 200 - Outer Banks 130 I thought a couple of Montgomery sailors were going to do the Texas 200 - if so could you report a synoposis. I am thinking of doing the OBX130 and would like to hear about "beach" camping with an M15. Were you anchored too far off of the slowly shallowing beaches? Bill and Paul Moffitt are organizing a Texas200 type event called the OBX130. It will take place around the Outer Banks of North Carolina. They have set up a website with a forum. If you are at all interested, keep an eye on it for developements.... http://www.obx130.com/ _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
