Jerry, Congratulations!!! The Yeocomico river is beautiful and offers a protected sailing area when the winds are up. The southern Potomac is a wonderful cruising area. The M23 "Walkabout" is just up the river about 10 mi in Herring Creek. 4 of us did a one week cruise there last year and if you send me your snail mail address I would send you the video. I tried to sail into Kinsdale Marina in my M15 and consistently ran aground. There are deep boats than mine at the marina so I must have been interpreting the markers wrong. The chart on the marina web site also shows it to be very shallow. We went to a marina at the end of the West Yeocomico at the town of Kinsdale, next to the 203 bridge and it had far more sailboats than the Kinsdale marina. Lots of deep water. I should also make sure you know that the waters between Point Lookout and Smith Point have a reputation of being some of the roughest on the Bay when the wind is out of the SE and tide is running out. The combination is predictable so you should not have a problem. Given all of that you are in a great cruising area for weekends or a month or two wandering the the Northern Neck and Tangier and Smith Islands. Looking foreward to seeing you on the water.

I have a slip at the Port Kinsale marina waiting for it. Kinsale is two hours from our home and the area looks like a great place to sail. Kinsale is near where the Potomac meets the bay. See: http://www.portkinsale.com/ My previous boat was an 8' Phil Bolger "Nymph", so I'm gonna have 3 times the number of sails on this boat! I didn't know anything about Montgomery boats until I saw Rick Davies M-17 at the Washington Sailing Marina. Pretty boat - It hooked me. I've been following the messages on inflatables vs. towed [hard] dinghies. My wife (Robin) and I are still pondering this. We have a 17' Folbot (Greenland II) but haven't given much thought to towing something THAT big. We lean towards towing the "Nymph".

Hey everyone! This is Theo, M23-Sails Increase owner. I just moved to the Philadelphia area and had to leave my baby behind in Minnesota for now. I'm wondering where or if there are Montys out in this time zone. It's my first spring in 15 years without a sailboat to mess around on.... Thanks!
