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,

John Edwards
