Hello Jim, Welcome aboard. I took my M-15 to Buggs Island Lake for a week last summer. Great campgrounds there which you may know is SW of Smith Mountain on the NC-Virginia border. It was a great sailing location - very different from the Chesapeake Bay. Catching the winds (sometimes very exciting gusts) as they scooted around the different points was fun and it wasn't too unusual to have winds coming from totally different directions moments apart. We had sailed on lakes in Texas and Missouri so weren't too surprised with the wind shifts. Since moving to Hampton we've mostly been on salt water with fairly constant winds. Thought we'd do Bugg's again this year but times seems to be getting away from us.
Keep us posted on your quest - and do yourself a favor, be sure to check out the Montgomery before you buy anything else. Stan M-15, #177, Carol II _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
