Hello, the book, "A Little Breeze to the West" is also available on Amazon. The "Little Breeze" is still sailing the water of the Big Island in Hawaii.

Mark sailed to the mouth of the Amazon, then got tired of it. Last I heard he was flying a plane in FL, towing an advertising banner around in circles. -----Original Message----- From: Jazzy Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2016 12:39 AM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: Honolulu.. Ya, I have the book in the 15, but I thought someone went farther in a 17? Maybe I'm losing it.. It's so interesting, I'd love a hawaii run.

What happened to the guy that had the modified 17, Mark Hightower? That brought his boat to San Carlos about 30 years ago?

You're talking about Mike Mann, who sailed from Newport Beach to Hawaii. He did write a book about it; I think SCA sells it. he came to the Wrinkle Boat regatta in Jan. He went to the Maritime Academy BEFORE sailing to HI, and was second in command but probably retired now; it was imminent.

Hi Jazz,
He left from San Diego and sailed to Hawaii in an M15. As soon as I can dig through my pile of debris on my desk I'll provide name; dates of voyage; and what happened.
He wrote a great book about his trip; and when he returned to the USA, he went to the Mariner's Academy in California, and today is a Captain of large ships traveling the high seas.

Went running near the Waikiki Yacht club today, good lord there are some beauties over here. Got me thinking about the guy that took off in his beefed up monty...where did he leave from? how far did he go?
