Where did this fleet of sailors put in? Anacortes? Elsewhere?

John Schinnerer - Are you still looking to hit the Gulf Islands in Sept?
I am actually leaving for Cortes tomorrow. But with my kayak, this trip.
So if anyone here happens to be cruising in the vicinity...a friend and I will be circumnavigating Cortes the 22nd-26th, then my girlfriend and I will be day paddling around different parts of Cortes thru Friday 31st. Will be camped at Smelt Bay provincial park, after the circumnavigation.
My kayak tends to stand out, it's a Pygmy Kayaks "Coho" model, glass over okume plywood, clear finish. And my pal Keith has a Hobie Adventure Island sail/pedal/paddle tri, in red.
Don't think I will make it up to the gulf islands with Pajarita this September. The local sailing season was shot by dry winter, low water at Howard Prairie, and early onset of nasty forest fire smoke in the area. I aim to get a shakedown cruise (for new furler & jib) at Fern Ridge by mid-September and hopefully get to Waldo lake as well, and maybe Diamond lake. Sad, but that's probably about it, unless I take it to the coast a bit later in the fall.
cheers, John S.

There are a few up in your vicinity - Keith Martin in Vancouver BC for one, I forget who else...?
I hope to get my M17 up that way in September sometime, or south Puget Sound at least, but preferably San Juans/Canadian gulf islands.
Lots of pics on the MSOG site and elsewhere, but of course it's harder
to
see details vs. a live boat to look at.
cheers, John

I see, ok, it was a little disconcerting to see but now that i know that it is normal I can rest easy.
I have still never seen another Montgomery before in my life, so it definitely would be nice to see another one to compare notes.

Simple answer is the cockpit floors have greater slope towards the drains
and are higher above the waterlines.

Hmm, ok, good to know. How does the newer Sage cockpit drain get
around
this?
I see now that the plugs that came with the boat are there for good reason..
