Havasu Pocket Cruisers
by eisenee＠aol.com 17 Feb '10

17 Feb '10

Hey Sean, Jo, Larry, Gary, Capt Howie, Judy and everyone else involved in the BIGGGG event on Lake Havasu last weekend. We really enjoyed meeting all the great sailors. in all of the racing and sailing events I have taken part in this one truly was the BEST. Wed. night we are in Van Horn, Tx. with only another 450 miles to go. We certainly hope to do it again next year. We may do the Old Geezers Messabout on Lake Palastine in April but after that Motu iti will be in dry dock until next year as we are doing a R.V. Caravan to the Canadian Maritime Provinces. Eldor and Dorothy M17 Motu iti

M15 Littlebreeze to Hawaii newsletter archive
by Michael Mann 12 Feb '10

I need some help with the Montgomery Owner's Newsletter Archives. I can't seem to find the entire story "Old friends go separate ways, M17 to Mexico, M15 to Hawaii." It is in the Winter 1996, Vol. 2, No. 4 issue. When I go to the archive I am only seeing page 1 and page 6. We'd love to read the rest of the story and find out who wrote the article. Maybe I'm not using the archives correctly. Thanks for any help. Laurie and Michael Mann

Little Breeze Alive and Well
by Jennifer Tiernay 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

Aloha all ~ I've been in touch with Laura Mann and sent her a few videos of Little Breeze in Honolulu. Ron and I are now on the island of Kauai and we brought LB with us. Even though our jobs took us away from our 47 foot Cal in Honolulu (we've had to put her up for sale) we brought Little Breeze with us and she's being stored on her tailer on a little farm west of us. We have yet to use her since last April due to our new positions but have plans on taking her up the Wailua river for some overnight getaways. The Wailua River is the only navigable river in all Hawaii and we're lucky to be living right next door. We took our portabote up there when we first arrived and the incredible scenery can't be described. We'll look forward to Michael and Laura's book on the trip across the Pacific. Mouths still drop when we tell them of her adventures and Michael's incredible voyage. Respectfully, Jen and Ron Tiernay from the Isle of Kauai

nys sailing
by Rick Langer 10 Feb '10

I'm a little interested. A couple of us have been increasingly interested in lake sailing lately. However, as I recall, those lakes are long and narrow without much shelter for gunk holing. I think they are big glacial gouges cut mostly in granite, so they're deep with a lot of cliff like shores and limited holding for anchoring. But, I'm still interested. I'm in contact with a few other M-boaters that don't use this list, so if you develop a plan let me know and I'll forward the cruise information on to them. What time frame are you considering? Before or after school vacation seems the best for avoiding the increased traffic on those lakes during the summer. Mike Murphy was tentatively planning a cruise on Lake Champlain this summer. Frank Durant and I did that did the southern half of that lake a few years ago and would be interested in going back to explore the north end from Plattsburgh to Canada. Maybe Mike can chime in on what his plans are. BTW, what's your name?

M17 venting question
by Bill Wickett 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

As a follow up to my last question on the aft locker, has anyone installed a solar vent on their M17? If so where did you locate it? On top of the forward hatch? Would another alternative be small dorade vents either side of the forward hatch? Probably removeable with screw in deck plates. I am looking for ideas to keep the cabin fresh while stored. Let me know what you see at Lake Havasu. Thank you. Bill Wickett M17 #622

Hi Laurie, Thanx much for chiming in. Looking forward to the book. sal In a message dated 2/4/2010 11:17:04 P.M.

To those of you who have suggested that he put his M15 adventure in writing, it has been a dream for years and we are finally at work doing just that. Michael kept excellent log, journal and audio tape, so we hope to have the book finished by next year.

The Salcombe Yawl

Hello Listers, Perhaps some of you have discovered Dylan Winter's fabulous You-Tube series "Keep Turning Left". He is sailing around England in his Mirror Offshore 19 footer. The videos and history he provides are quite entertaining. I have been in contact with Dylan via E-Mail and have asked about a particular lapstrake "clinker" yawl that appears in many of the sailing areas. He sent me this link: http://www.syoa.co.uk/ Salcombe in a small town in southern Devon on the English Channel. The light blue one looks like my M23. Salty stuff.
