Yes, we have added to our ever-expanding collection of things that float. Jared has had his eye out for a Montgomery 12 ever since we sold our 15, and lucked upon one for sale in Dana Point. It is a 1971 (as yet unnamed), and is hull #3...pretty cool. It feels spacious compared to the 8-foot Sabot we were loading the four of us into this summer for little adventures around the harbor, and so far we're really enjoying it.
Here we are pulled up on a beach in Mission Bay last weekend, within walking distance of a great sandwich shop where we picked up lunch. The sail to this spot from where we launched was straight upwind, and the day was pretty breezy, which made for a very wet and somewhat squirrly sail--luckily, this also means that our trip back to the dock after lunch was nearly all downwind, which conversely made for a very pleasant journey :)
