Brought Faith home today. It was 29° when I left home this morning but almost 50° when I got over to the marina at the coast. Would have been a nice day to sail but the wind was fairly light. It was a good day to pull the boat out (dry and sunny). Had 2 people so to admire the boat and talk. One a former M17 sailor who after a broken back had to consign himself to powerboats. The other gentleman's dad had been a dealer for Jerry's boats back in the day. I believe he said Sacramento Marine was his dad's business. He used to deliver M boats for his dad when he was just out of school. You never know who you will meet when you have a Montgomery at the ramp! It seems like I can never launch or retrieve without having to stop and converse with some boat admirer! 34° and getting dark when I pulled back into the driveway at home. Can't wait for spring.
Where did you go to get your M boat? What city in which state? How far do you tow it to where?

Winchester bay. At the mouth of the Umpqua river in southern Oregon. Hauled her home to Roseburg about 75 miles to the east. Mark Dvorscak M23 Faith On Nov 28, 2015 7:34 PM, "Steve Trapp" <stevetrapp@q.com> wrote:

Winchester Bay, on the Oregon Coast, with an operating lighthouse at the U.S. Coast Guard station which actually permits visitors to climb the stairs and take in the view, or at least they did a few years ago. You're not too far to tow to Fern Ridge Reservoir near Eugene which has an active sailing population, or it did a few years ago.

I sail my M15 occasionally at Fern Ridge. And sometimes sail with a friend on his M17 which he keeps there. It's a nice sailing lake but it doesn't compare to ocean sailing for me. Mark On Nov 28, 2015 9:02 PM, "Steve Trapp" <stevetrapp@q.com> wrote:

Hi Mark, glad that your boat is home for the winter. Mine is also quite a drive from my house but staying at the marina this winter. I understand the conversation with sailors. I was rebedding the port toe rail Friday with my son to help and the fella directly behind me in the storage lot was sanding a Pearson Ensign down in preparation for painting. He asked about the manufacturer, designer and year. He had not heard of Jerry M but had of course heard of Lyle Hess and thought the boat looked great for its age and larger than 23'. Always fun to talk boats. All the best, Robbin M-23 Pinch Me On 11/28/2015 9:44 PM, Mark Dvorscak wrote:
