"Most of my sailing experience has been on the west coast (California and Baja)." Must be strange for you to be talking, the last week of April, about "the upcoming sailing season"! :-) After two incredible, unseasonably warm and beautiful weeks here in Michigan, we were hit with over 3" of snow this past weekend!!! It's the rare warm days in this climatically schizophrenic state that sent me looking for a simple daysailer (an addition to my M17) that could be launched in small lakes close to home at a moment's notice ... ----- Original Message ----- From: bo Swartwout To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Sent: Monday, April 25, 2005 8:49 AM Subject: Sailing Connie, I am new to the New England area (just up the road from you in Cape Cod) and would like to know where you sail in Connecticut? Most of my sailing experience has been on the west coast (California and Baja). I bought an M15 last fall and am looking forward to the upcomming sailing season. I have enjoyed your many posts on the Montgomery site. Thanks, Bo Swartwout
