Montgomery San Juan & Gulf Islands Rendezvous pics & videos
Well, I can't get the time right now to make a full on webpage like I'd like to do describing the full 14 day trip. I will, but it's gonna be while. So, for now, if you would like to view photos of the trip that we took (and a couple nice ones that Tom and Della Jenkins gave us) you can go to this site to see them: _http://picasaweb.google.com/nebwest2/SanJuans09_ (http://picasaweb.google.com/nebwest2/SanJuans09) # The video clips we took are on my website at: _www.havasumontgomerys.piczo.com_ (http://www.havasumontgomerys.piczo.com) then click on the "videos" section and scroll down to them. The trip was fantastic, just as we knew it would be. The logistics of actually getting there once again proved worth all the trouble and expense. Jo and I (and Bosun) had a fantastic time. It was great to re-unite with old friends from before and make new friends as well. We drove over 3000 miles towing our 23 behind, sailed and motored somewhere in the vicinity of 200 miles, Spent three weeks away from home and jobs, 7 nights staying in our camper and 14 nights afloat in a different location almost every night! WOW!! Larry Yake is the master. What else can be said. He planned a trip of a lifetime....AGAIN.The amount of planning and work that he put into making this trip a success cannot even be imagined. I am not aware of one crew that had a major problem, or even a minor one that was not taken care of quickly. Consider that we had 14 days on the water, 16 different boats, crews of every experience level, some old salts and some very new to sailing and you have to just be in awe of how well things went. The cooperation between crews during group meetings where everyone's input was taken into account helped to keep us all having fun and being safe. I can't wait to see the rest of your pictures! I snail-mailed Randy a cd of all of our shots to be included with the group photo cd. Thank you everyone involved for a fabulous time. We loved hanging out with you all and only wish it could have gone on even longer. For now, back to work to build up the cruising kitty again in preparation for the next time. Sean, 'Jo,and of course....Bosun (now an "official" sailing dog!) .....and yes....I know there are a lot of pictures of Bosun! hahaha **************Looking for love this summer?
