Thanks for the welcome Sean and Jeff. My wife and I are looking forward to
the trip to Tucson, a sail on Dauntless, and a stop in Vegas to see my
stepson. Plan to be rolling into Marcus WA with the new boat on 10/19. I
will post more info on my present boat which will be going up for sale soon
after we get back. It is a Halman 20 which is a north sea, double ended,
full keel design. It also is a coastal cruiser capable of ocean passages...
just a bit smaller than an M-23. Its a very stout little ship!

Hey! Here's something happy we can talk about!
Just wanted to throw out a Congratulations! to Chris and Jeff Packer on
their acquisition of the "Tucson" 23. As many of us can relate to, buying
a boat
such a long distance from home throws in a lot of logistics and expense to
pull the deal off. Obviously, these folks have a real love of the
Montgomery
line.
Sounds like they have big plans for her and are very excited to get
started
getting her back up to speed. It's awesome that someone who is really
excited
about this boat for what she is got a hold of her. Sounds like Jo and I
are
going to get to meet them next week. They are going to stop by Lake Havasu
with their new baby in tow on the way from Tucson to WA. Can't wait! We
are
hoping to 'wet their whistle" with a sail on Dauntless while they are
here.
I know that they'll be able to depend on the MSOG family to help them out
with anything they need during the restoration process. If it wasn't for
all
you guys out there, Dauntless would probably still be on boat stands in
the
back yard. I'd still be scratching my head trying to figure out what the
heck to
do with her, and 'Jo,,,,,,well, she'd have probably left me in search of
someone who had a boat that actually floated! Bet you didn't know that the
not
only does the MSOG help with you boats...but they save marriages as well!
(Although I must say, I actually was a little worried about loosing her to
Gary
Hyde up in the San Juans. Gary's great company,good looks, superb taste in
wine, and of course the Cougar Gold Cheese almost made me a single guy
again!
Watch out for that guy! lol)
Hey Larry, looks like the roster for San Juans 09 is growing!!!
On another note. Finally it's sailing season here again in the southwest.
Dauntless' first local sale of the season was yesterday on the heels of a
cold
front (ok, ok an "cool"front). We had 10-20 knots all day with a high of
around 80 degrees. Gotta love that. After one of the hottest summers we've
ever
had ( I thought I was going to melt a few times at work!) it's a welcomed
change. As the northern season winds down, please know there's an open
invite to
come on down and sail with us.......
hmmmmmm....what's this..........uh, Gary H........Jo said to make sure I
invite you! ;-)
Say it with me now.....Lake of the Woods!, Lake of the Woods!, Swarm!
Swarm!, National Monty Invasion!!! from the East, West, North,
South.......Go, Go,
Go! Everyone's crashing on the couch at Bones' house!!!!
(Sorry Bones, got kinda carried away in the moment!).
