Hi Howard, I am located in St Paul Minnesota. I was sailing on White Bear Lake. I appreciate the offer. Actually there is a regular on the Montgomery mail list name "Bones" who has been helpful and offered to go out with me. He is on a cruise with other Monty owners right now but we will hook up when he returns.
