For those who like to track various trivia in Monty-land...today I met the current owner/skipper of 'Little Breeze' (the Monty 15 that Michael Mann sailed to Hawai'i long ago). I'm over in Hawai'i briefly, in Hilo on Hawai'i Island, and was out for a sail this afternoon with some other Hilo sailing club members on another member's boat. As we were cruising around, I overheard a guy I'd just met named Andy tell someone else he had a Montgomery 15. I remembered that Little Breeze was on the island in years past, I saw her for sale on craigslist once even, so I asked him what her name was...you can guess the answer by now. He's very happy with her, though when he heard I had a 17 he did say he really really wants a 17. So if anyone wants to sell a 17 to someone in Hawai'i...here's your chance! aloha, John -- John Schinnerer - M.A., Whole Systems Design -------------------------------------------- - Eco-Living - Whole Systems Design Services People - Place - Learning - Integration john@eco-living.net - 510.982.1334 http://eco-living.net http://sociocracyconsulting.com
Good, that "Little Breeze" has a good home these many years on. I have enjoyed that voyage only through the book, available through the Small Craft Advisor in Port Townsend.
