So sorry to hear that. Life is messy. OK, aug 19 will be great if you can do it. We'll touch base before then.

My mother-in-law passed away on Thursday. The funeral is tomorrow. I have been off work and will need to catch up. My schedule should be back to normal in a week or so. I should be ready for a sail on Aug. 19th. We can touch bases beforehand but right now that looks like the best time for me. ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Rich" <danielgrich@gmail.com> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2010 2:04 PM Subject: Re: M_Boats: Considering an M 15 > Ken: > > I'm back from vacation.
