Puget Sound Sailors, I have observed that a group of Montgomery and Westwight Potter sailors assemble each August at Swantown Marina in Olympia on South Puget Sound. Am hoping to join you this year. Was at the Swantown Marina to pay my rent this morning and inquired about overnight moorage at the guest dock for sailors who usually arrive the day before and moor overnight. Saturday August 30 is the first day of Labor Day weekend, and the guest dock reservations are nearly full. The lady in the office who does reservations advised that if any of you who are planning to moor overnight have not already made your reservation that time is of the essence, and reservations should be made by this Friday Ausut 15. Their phone is (360) 528 - 8049 Steve M-15 # 335 ----- Original Message ----- From: "John" <squeaks47@earthlink.net> To: "stevetrapp" <stevetrapp@q.com> Sent: Monday, August 11, 2014 7:00 AM Subject: Re: M_Boats: Puget Sound? An Introduction Hi Steve: Sorry for the delay; setting up the new boat is very busy work but we had our maiden launch and sail yesterday (and the "to do" list is even longer : -). I'm sailing Puget Sound with a group of Monty and Potter guys from the Bay Area. For now, most of us are launching at Olympia on Saturday Aug 30 and making our way to Port Townsend for the boat show the fo;;owing weekend, then returning to Olympia by the weekend of Sat Sept 13. I'm sure the group wouldn't mind meeting you for some "local knowledge". John -----Original Message-----

Hi All: After Larry Hughston’s kindly-worded post, perhaps it’s time I introduce myself. After buying an M12 and converting it to a tanbark gaff sloop (“Mojo”; Havasu vet ’12 & ’13) and buying a Gunter-rigged 1969 Potter 14 ("Hobbes"; Mexico vet with Paul Bear and his M17 Pequeña, Florida vet with Dan Phy and his restored 12’ Pelican, and the recent Cruiser Challenge, dead last but rescuing the capsized P15) I decided to buy Larry’s M15 “Old 189”. I’ve renamed her “At Last” (the Etta James song) for my wonderful girlfriend. My first outing later this month will be Puget Sound with Dan Phy and The Usual Suspects with many more to come. Lastly, a warm thanks to Monty sailing friends, old and new! Fair winds to all, John Chille M12 Mojo P14 Hobbes M15 At Last Ventura, CA PS: A friend spotted an M15 here at the launch ramp on Tuesday. If you know them I’d like to meet them.
