Hi Klaas. I am in Kelowna. These days I usually sail Okanagan Lake. I plan on dragging my 17 down to the coast for some cruising this summer. We can get together then if you like. I am actually going to be in Victoria this coming weekend.....unfortunately, for a funeral. " As I watch this group I'm noticing a lot of other Monty owners are on the B.C. coast in and around the Vancouver , Victoria area ." I guess my powers of observation are slipping. Although I have seen the occasional Monty here and at the coast, I have not noticed many list members from this area... Anybody else in BC? (I know of one list member up in central BC somewhere) Cheers, Tim M17#369 ----------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Klaas Sent: January 29, 2012 09:02 To: Montgomery boats groups Subject: M_Boats: Any one in B.C. to talk shop with I've been working on a 15ft Montgomery # 321 Bobbie Mayer's lift off , bought it from her Dec1/2011. At the moment I'm trying to make her brand new , she was in good shape when I got her but , a 26 year old boat is 26 years old .So I'm repainting & cleaning the inside and out . Replacing old with new ss parts and so on . I'm hoping to put her in the water sometime this month or next as soon as I finish rebuilding the trailer . As I watch this group I'm noticing a lot of other Monty owners are on the B.C. coast in and around the Vancouver , Victoria area . I was wondering do any of you ever get together some where and talk shop ,or go sailing . The reason I ask is I'm new to this game and would like to learn from those that have been there and done it . Thanks KLaas ----- No virus found in this message.
