Returned on Sunday evening from a 5 day sailing trip over to San Diego. Once again we joined our friends from the Socal Potters group. Although, this time, it looked more like the Socal Monty's group...at least for the first day as the Monty's outnumbered the Potters (for the first day at least!) Captain Howie from the Socal Potter group did another steller job of hosting their yearly "Kick-back Cruise" which consisted of some sailing in the bay, some offshore daysailing, overnight anchoring and raft ups, fireworks every night courtesy of Sea World, and a picnic/cookout on beautiful Mission Bay beach as well as a couple of meals at absolutely stunning "boat-up" restaurants . As always, "non-potters" were welcomed into the group and made un-official "potters for a day". Montys were represented by Fuh-shing and Shi-lan in their M15, Matt and Noah in their M17, and Jo and I in our 23. Weather was beautiful (hey..its San Diego...what did you expect!). Big thanks to Howie and the Potter group for allowing us to join them. We'll be also joining them for the third year in a row for their late August Channel Islands Harbor/ Anacapa Island/Ventura outing. This is a no miss event as Oxnard and Channel Islands Harbor is VERY small boat friendly...It always blows....and scenery is great. Lets keep building the "Socal Monty Fleet" participation!!! We got three Montys on the Catalina Island trip, three Monty's in San Diego...lets make it four or more in August. Jo and I will be making a Wed thru Sun trip. Come, bring your Monty, and relax with us for 4 or five days! How about you other AZ Monty guys???.....Put those trailers to use!!!! Howie always does a photo album of all their trips and posts them on his site. His photo album of the Catalina trip is now posted. It is a collaboration of photos from all the participants. Here's the link: _http://howies.net/socalpotter/catalina2008/_ (http://howies.net/socalpotter/catalina2008/) Who's going to the Cruiser Challenge???? I'll be driving up there (without Jo or Daunltess). However, I'm going to crew for Howie on his Sanibel for the weekend. Should be fun. See you there. Sean M23 Dauntless
