Hi everyone, The biannual Montgomery Group San Juan Islands Cruise will be held this June from the 11th to the 25th. We'll be spending two weeks cruising through the San Juan and Canadian Gulf Islands, launching from and returning to Anacortes, Wa. Our route is still being planned, but it will be arranged so those who can only come for one week will be able to return to Anacortes easily while the rest of the group heads into Canada. This cruise is always a great time, with a fun group of returning sailors each year. These folks who have sailed with us before are the ones that make these cruises what they are, so they have been given the opportunity to sign up first for this years cruise. Fourteen have signed on for another trip. Our roster will be limited to 20 boats, so if you want to sign on this year, get a message to me fast! The remaining spots won't last long. This will be the first time we've had a limit on the number of participants, but due to the growth of the event each year it has become a necessary evil. The San Juan and Gulf Islands are popular cruising destinations, and we simply can't go cruising into an already busy anchorage or marina with a huge group of boats and expect things to go smoothly. This event has been a success in the past due to the manageable size of the fleet, which has enabled a group of strangers to become good friends, enjoying their time sailing together. So... if sailing through one of the premier cruising grounds in the world with a great group of fellow Montgomery sailors appeals to you, send me a reply to leyake@juno.com and I'll get you on the list. Hope you see you in June. Larry Yake
