HooWee!!! Would you believe 17 boats signed up already! And I'm still expecting to hear from several folks who mentioned interest throughout the past year. This could be the biggest Monty cruise ever! If you think you wouldn't like sailing with a group, well... then you've never done it. It's a blast. In fact, it makes sailing alone seem almost boring. (This from a former self-proclaimed "loner".) If you're just toying with the idea of joining us, you don't have to sign up now, but the better idea I have of the size of the group, the easier it will be to plan a suitable route. Plus, you get to voice your opinions on dates and destinations. Larry ____________________________________________________________ Win the battle of the bulge with great liposuction solutions.

Larry, I would love to meet you guys for the San Juan Islands cruise but it is too soon to commit. It is a very long drive from Huntsville, Texas to the Seattle area especially towing a deep keel M17 with a hard dinghy on the roof rack. Griselda, my M17, is one of the origonal fin keel boats and with 39" draft so, some kind of dinghy is a necessity. Thumbelina, my "Fatty Knees 9" (sail and oars) is a Lyle Hess design and tows like a dream so, it might be just enough drag to slow the boat down to what the Keel/CB M17s can do. At this time, Griselda is still on the hard but, I hope to have her back in the water in a few weeks. I bought her from my Brother this Summer and she had not been in the water in over 15 years so there was a lot to do. Brother and I spent many a pleasant afternoon on Lake Travis when she was still in the water so, she is an old friend. I did some cruising in the San Juans in the early 70s and found it one of the most beautiful Places I have ever been. I am sure things have changed a lot but, not the natural beauty, the strong currents or the need for good foul weather gear. My "baby Brother" lives in the area and sails a Hobie Vagabond on Lake Washington so, maybe he could be coerced into going along. I will keep following the plans and as time gets closer to the cruise date, I may be able to plan the trip. My bride has some serious health issues so we cannot plan things too far in advance.

I'm piling on . . . we're aren't owners yet, still looking and thinking. But we do live on Lummi Island and would love to meet the group at one of your stops. Please keep us on the list to follow the itinerary.
