Subject: M_Boats: Perimeter Trip
Having just retired in
early January, I have the time to do one of my "goals". Starting in May,
I plan to trailer my M17 around the perimeter (more or less) of the US,
lauching it in places I have always wanted to sail. I would enjoy having
company at any, or all of the sites, and especially would like to have some
first hand knowledge about the areas where I plan to sail. The list
below gives the places and the approximate times I will be there.
First week in May:
Perdido Bay, Alabama
Second week in May: Corpus
Christi bay and Padre Island
Late in May:
San
Carlos, Mexico
Early June:
Newport
beach - Catalina Island, CA
Mid June:
San
Francisco Bay (Hope to compete in the small cruiser
race)
Early July
San
Juan Islands
Mid July - August:
Canoeing the Yellowstone
river
Early August:
Apostle
Islands, WI
Mid August:
North
Channel, Ontario
Late August:
Bras
d' Ore Lake, Nova Scotia
Early Sept:
Southwest
Harbor, Maine
Mid Sept:
Mystic
Seaport, CN
Late Sept:
Cambridge
(Chesapeake)
End of Sept:
Home!
The timing of the trip is loose but I plan to be in San Carlos while
the regatta is on (May 23, 24, and 25), and in San Francisco area in time for
the Potter/Montgomery race, which I'm assuming will be held close to June 15.
It's an ambitious trip, and I would enjoy sailing in
company and seeing a lot of other Montgomery sailboats and their owners. Let
me know if you are interested, or if you have some information on launch
ramps, places to sail, etc., for these areas.
Thanks,
