Hess Update

Ok, Lets try one more time Gary The party is definitely getting bigger. We want everyone to come! Some by sea, some by air, some by land. All owners are welcome. Hi Gary, You are the greatest at getting the Montgomery Sailors together for this wonderful event. Here's the latest... Aloha Lyle Hess Lovers! Hello Sailors. Thank you all for your enthusiasm and inspirational phone calls and messages. We are happy to say that on July 14th, Vera was alive and well and sipping her martini at the leopard lounge bar near the piano. She's been there every evening for the last 50 years. She's a wonderful hostess. Bernie and I stopped by on our way back from Bermuda (No, we did not take Aloha this time, but we'll see next year). The creek is as advertised, the most beautiful place we have ever seen on the Bay! Let's see if we can get the folks coming from points North to sail in flotilla from Annapolis to Solomons Is. where we can anchor in Mill Creek or up Back Creek, then race up to St. Leonard's creek on Saturday morning. St. Leonard's creek is beautiful and folks can anchor in a lovely cove just short of Vera's, or go get a slip at Vera's (1.50 per ft). The Montgomerys can easily sneak into St. John's creek, just in front of Vera's home, which looks like a the Taj Mahal. The entrance to St Leonard's Creek is 38.23.07 N and 76.30.07 W where you pick up the Green 1. The creek is wide and deep. You just stay in the middle in 15 ft of water for 2.6 miles to about 38.25.10 N and 76.29.2 W right in front of Vera's. The boats will be close to the dock. There is plenty of room and lots of safe places. John's creek is about 7ft deep near Vera's house just to Starboard. It is really pretty. It's nice to anchor your boat where you can see it from Vera's or go ahead and take a slip so we can visit. Aloha will probably be in a slip acting as a good hostess and showing off her new Carol Hasse sails. Fly in Lyle Hess fans can easily fly to BWI in Baltimore and rent a car to drive to Solomans Is, MD. There are two Holiday Inn near by. We are inviting everyone who owns a Lyle Hess boat to come and enjoy the wonderful gathering. RogueWave Yacht Sales is hosting a cocktail hour 6-7 with snacks in the bar on Saturday the 25th of September. We are planning also to arrange a dinner buffet for Saturday night (after the party) for $25 per person for all who sign up. Of course, within the last few days, we'll need to let them know how many of us to expect. We'd love to have everyone come to the dinner so we might find the opportunity to share some stories about Lyle and his boats. So far we have.six or seven BCCs, 3-4 NorSea, maybe two Falmouth Cutter, and about 8-12 Mongomery 17. These Montgomery sailors may well out sail all of us as they are a salty crowd exemplifying Lyle's passion for seaworthy little boats. We'll be posting information at the Lyle Hess Tribute page below. http://roguewaveyachtsales.com/roguewave/roguewave_20.html You'll find this information and new information at the site. Give me a call anytime.

Hello All, I really was happily surprised at all the great images of M15s when someone on the list requested them. The picture of "StormPetrel" is really cool. I converted the image to black & white (Very Rosenthal) Are there as many M17 Images? I'm looking for inspiration for a project so if anyone has a picture of there boat under sail please post away. Thank You All Mark Escovedo M17 #103

Re: M_Boats: Virus

Hi gang; Just a warning. In the past week my computer has been infected by a virus named: Backdoor.Zincite.A I found out about it when I got a message from JUNO, my ISP, telling me that lots of spam was being sent from my address.............. Via my installed NORTON Anti-virus program I found out the name of the virus, but the installed NORTON program couldn't fix it, though they could give it a name and where it resided. Now that I had an address for the virus, I spent hours looking in my files, holding a baseball bat behind my back, so that if I found the rascal I could clobber him. This was futile, because, as I later found out, the virus hides in your machine and then pulls Harry Potter's invisibility cloak over itself so that you can't find it. Clever, eh? Finally I went to Google. Entered: "Backdoor.Zincite.A virus - removal" and hit Search. Instantly I had the Symantic website with a downloadable fix. It also gave long detailed descriptions of how the virus functions. So after hours and hours of trying to find it myself, the NORTON download went into my computer, flushed out the culprit and eliminated it. Computer is clean again. So, I hope that this virus didn't infect your computers, but if it did, go to Google and get instant help. Now, if we can only catch the spammer, I think we should all gather on the deck of an old square rigger and do a nice keel haul job on him. Preferably over a hull that has about two years worth of barnacles growing on it. Connie
