Just got back from the San Juans! Pictures!
Hi guys, We just got back Saturday afternoon from our trip to the San Juan Islands with the Montgomery group (huge thanks to Larry for herding the cats and setting this all up). We had an awesome time and met so many nice Montgomery owners and their boats. This was our first time seeing the M23 (impressive and huge) and the M15 (equally impressive to see two people comfortably sleeping on this pocket cruiser). We also went from zero overnight trips on our M17 to eight nights, and it was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be (I am 6'7"). We kept up pretty well with the rest of the group also, even though we were one of the few M17 boats with 2 people onboard. I think we also win smallest outboard award (2.5hp Yamaha) but it pushes the boat at 4.5 to 5 kts in calm water. We tried to sail as much as possible anyway. At one point we were actually keeping pace with the M23 Faith and staying ahead of M17 Corndog. I had to rag Larry about this over the FRS but then he pulled out the rest of his 150 and sailed past us :-( We have uploaded a bunch of unedited pictures to http://www.eidolonyacht.com/sanjuanislands2009 for you to enjoy. These are just a raw upload of all the pictures with many similar shots. If you click on a thumbnail you will get the full image. Note that it is really hard to get a stable non-blur shot when close hauled. :-) Hopefully others will upload some shots of our boat as sadly we have never had a picture taken of her while we were under sail. We hope the rest of the Montgomery group continuing the trip into Canada has a great time and fair weather. Thanks again for letting us cruise with you. Rick and Debora M17 #635 Eidolon
Rick, Thanks so much for the awesome photos!! Its great to have a selection of my boat under sail. Carlos and I have not yet put our cameras together to check out our photos. If we have one of you and Debbie under sail, it will find its way to you post haste! We enjoyed meeting you, and all the other folks in the 'fleet'. I look forward to doing another trip en masse in future! Cheers, Doug M17 Poco Cambio hull 039 New Westminster B.C. Canada On Sun, Jun 21, 2009 at 10:15 AM, Richard Everett <rick@skyko.com> wrote:

Rick, Thanks for the pics. I guess we were always too far behind to get in the frame. Della has not downloaded her photos yet, but she was always hanging over the edge taking pictures when she should have been crewing, so I will bet she got some good shots of Eidolon which will appear in due time.
