Hi M-sailors, Having had to swallow the anchor because of advancing age, your stories and adventures are most enjoyable reading during the year. I know that you have all been good boys and girls this year, so I'm sure that Santa will bring you the new set of sails you'd like to have; will supply the non-drag anchor for windy anchorages; will be there to lend a guiding hand when you find yourself in the "soup" for the first time and will guide you safely to your destination (fog sailing is an acquired skill along the New England coast). I'd just like to wish you all a Merry Christmas, with lots of good sailing in the coming year; with always a wind that lets you get to your destination on a broad reach; and that you always have a hand's breadth of water under your keel. Happy sailing, Connie ex M-15 #400 LEPPO
Connie.....the same to you sir. 😀 Have a great next year..! Be well Bob Sent from my iPad

Hi Connie, That covers my wish list. Unfortunately I may have to "swallow the anchor" this coming year too. So I too will derive my vicarious pleasures from reading about other Monty owners' exploits. May the most pleasant of the holidays be yours, Tom Buzzi On Sun, Dec 24, 2017 at 12:49 PM, Conbert Benneck <chbenneck@gmail.com> wrote:

Merry Christmas to all you sailors out there. As an old guy myself I am constantly reminded that advancing age beats the alternative.

A Merry Christmas to all a little late but better than not offering it to a great group of Sailors. Just finished a great Dinner with the immediate Family Ages 86 to 2 yrs. of age 14 in all and 10 were celebrating else where. I can relate to your comment Connie as I feel the joints getting stiffer and the reflexes getting slower. My plan is to be able to get to 90 before I swallow the Anchor the Good Lord willing. .

Flying coast to coast this Christmas day. Feeling a bit like Santa, dropping wishes for all the best to one and all as I pass overhead. Merry Christmas!! Ho, ho, ho On Dec 24, 2017 13:49, "Conbert Benneck" <chbenneck@gmail.com> wrote:
