All this talk about Montgomery dinghy's has motivated me to make my annual posting about our 7'-11 that is still for sale. Last year I swore that if someone didn't buy it I would turn it into a coffee table. However, it dwarfed the sofa and loveseat. Then it was going to be a Jacuzzi bathtub, but

Thank you to all of you folks who expressed interest in the 7'-11 dinghy. I went from having zero interest to having more buyers than I had boats. The lucky new owner is John Edwards, who I'm sure will enjoy the boat in years to come. Also, thanks for all the good ideas and comments, like

San Diego Bay is a great place to spend part of that week. They have good launch facilities and lots of nearby attractions to see. You can sail past the Navy yard and see the Coronado Bay Bridge. Or, head out past Point Loma and crash in the waves for a while. San Diego typically has light

There's not much more to be said about these two so I'll keep it short. Here in the Southwest we have more vertical shoreline than horizontal. We opted for a handheld for the simple reason that when you are anchored in a cove (canyon) for the night all the wattage in the world will not transmit
