I'd try Ebay first to sell that kidney!!!! Scott and I drove to Florida (2600 miles one way) in about 44 hours, so if you sell that thing quick you should still have plenty of time to get down here for the weekend! I should probably tell you guys that, well,,,,,,it blew too stinkin' hard for us to go out and have fun today, so instead we pulled Dauntless out of the water in 25 knots of wind ( I know, I know we wussed out) and got her ready to trailer down to Phoenix this weekend. Dropping the mast was rather sporty, but the little a-frame set-up we use works pretty well. We just lined her up with the wind so we weren't battling a crosswind and down she came. The last few days here it has blown over 20 knots consistantly. On Friday my meteos wind meter (which I absolutely love) was registering as high as 44knots. I guess you can have too much of a good thing! Duantless remained snug in her slip. Way too much for this would-be sailor. Gary O.and I are planning on taking a bunch of photos of the AZ Yacht Club's B-day regatta to try to stir up more interest for a winter Monty gathering there next year. They are expecting 80, yes I said eighty boats to attend. Tony Kozlick of the M23 "Joken II" and I have been emailing and I know that he is planning on being there. So we know at least three and I think 4 Montys are going to attend. So, we're "on the hard" for the week and you guys won't have to listen (read) all my braggin about sailing in the winter for a few days!!! BUT...I know you'll get even in July when we are fryin' eggs on the car hoods without a chance for any decent wind!and you guys are enjoying your beautful summers. Still time to register and come join us! Sean
