Thanks Mark! We safely completed the 1500 mile journey yesterday. Certainly some added stress with a giant boat behind you....a 200-300 mile journey is reasonable for a boat like the M23, but I certainly don't want to travel long distances again. I am thankful I have a lot of great cruising destinations in that range living in central Washington. Now the real learning begins....I have a feeling the first couple years of ownership will be slow, but anything good takes time. We did order a full length cover for the boat from Ship Shape Canvas in Duluth. I'll let you know how that works out and cost. I never met Dick Lane, but he certainly did some good work on the boat. Bones provided a whole lot of records with the boat, maybe I'll find a picture in there. Gerry

The full cover is a great idea - I refinished the brightwork on my M17 with 8 coats of Epifanes high-gloss in 2008, bought a cover from Sailors Tailor, and it's still mostly looking like new except for a few spots that get some wear.

Hi Gerry a cover is great. I had one made for my M-23 and love it. It does protect bright work and keeps the rain out but also allows me to take off pieces of wood and varnish at home instead of at the marina. My canvas gal made zipper entrances on port and starboard so it does not matter where the dock is when entering. There is a picture of it on the MSOG photo site http://www.msogphotosite.com/Scripts/Boats/boatsdetail.php?id=113. Have a blast with your M-23. I am going to miss mine!

My M23 also came from Minnesota but the seller agreed to meet me about half way (in North Dakota). That was good but I had the added thrill of winter weather, bringing the boat home over the mountains in December. Have fun getting to know Dhana.

Hey, cool! I am in fact going down to Whiskeytown latter part of next week with a sailing/kayaking pal of mine. It's a bit under 3 hrs drive from here. But with my kayak this trip, as Pajarita still has some pre-season fixing to be finished off. Hope it's all done by late May, so will keep this in mind. I do want to get Pajarita in the water there sometime later this season. thanks, John S. On 04/26/2017 02:15 PM, jerry@jerrymontgomery.org wrote:

Cool idea... I am in southern Oregon but have connections around the NW, lived in Seattle for seven years quite a while ago. I'd join in, if the timing/my schedule allowed.
cheers, John S. (M17 #38, "Pajarita")

Thanks Mark!
We safely completed the 1500 mile journey yesterday. Certainly some added stress with a giant boat behind you....a 200-300 mile journey is reasonable for a boat like the M23, but I certainly don't want to travel long distances again. I am thankful I have a lot of great cruising destinations in that range living in central Washington.
Now the real learning begins....I have a feeling the first couple years of ownership will be slow, but anything good takes time.
We did order a full length cover for the boat from Ship Shape Canvas in Duluth. I'll let you know how that works out and cost.
I never met Dick Lane, but he certainly did some good work on the boat. Bones provided a whole lot of records with the boat, maybe I'll find a picture in there.

Hi All,
I hope I can maintain Dhana as well as Bones did. I have a lot of great support via the email list and appreciate that I can reach out to everyone with questions.
I'll post some pictures soon about our journey across the country....
