Karl Marx was wrong ("Drink is the curse of the working class"). WORK is the curse of the sailing class! We had a gorgeous early December day on Beaver Lake in Northwest Arkansas this week. Blue skies with a few high clouds to the southwest, temperature in the mid 50s, water the same, and a fine breeze from the southwest. Nice to be out of work - retired - and a lovely little Montgomery 15 to enjoy sailing all year around. I feel for you Montgomery sailors who still have to work, or live too far north. .--.-. | ( ( )__ \ _ / (_, \ ) ,_) | -== (_) ==- -'--`--' /|\ / \ / | \ | ^^ / | \ / | \ ^^ /361| \ / | \ / | \ ^^ / | \ ___/______| \ ______|_ \ ___ _________/ ==== \___\___/ | “MONTGOMERY 15” / ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~^~~^=~^~~-=~^~^~=~^~=~~^~= ~^~=~~^=~^~~^~^=~^~-~^~~^~= ^~=~^~=~~^~~=~~=~^~=~~^~~^~^^ John Butler - First M15 was #264
