Hello Monty sailors, The sailing season is over here in the inland northwest. CornDog is winterized, the temperature was 19 degrees here this morning, and the time has come to start planning the much anticipated and already highly touted (mostly thanks to Sean) 2009 San Juan cruise. After taking this year off, the interest for next years cruise has been amazing, and I'm expecting we'll have a BIG turnout. Could, in fact, be the largest gathering of M23's ever, with 7 or 8 already expressing interest. Tentative plans call for a 2 week cruise, most likely launching in early to mid June. Exact dates are yet to be determined. Tidal currents and group preferences will be considered first. On previous trips, we've spent most of the first week in the San Juan Islands so that folks who can only join us for the first half of the cruise can then return to Anacortes as the rest of us head for the Gulf Islands in Canadian waters. The 2009 cruise will probably have a similar itinerary, but that will all be decided though the San Juan Group e-mail list.
If you've ever dreamed of sailing one of the best cruising grounds anywhere, with a great group of friendly fun loving Montgomery sailors, don't miss this trip! To get signed up, send me a note at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and that will get you onto the "off-list" San Juan Group 2009 e-mail list for updates, planning, recommended gear lists, suggested reading and preparations. Don't worry about not being sure if you can come. Sign up if you're interested and you can always have your name removed if it turns out you can't make it.
