Thanks Jo and Sean. I'll certainly consider it, especially when the
snow starts flying up here!

We can't change the wind, but we can trim our sails.

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!).
