Hi Rejean,

I love Montreal, I wonder if you are leaving there for good?
I only spent a few days there, but it was very nice. I hope you have a good cruise, and welcome to the forum.

Ron

My good friend Otto is selling his boat after all these years. 4 years ago he gave up his pilots license due the BS the FAA was giving him over the physical. This year his boat is up for sale. At 85 he just lost a lot of the energy for sailing. So you better get out there now since you might only have 25 good years left.

Fair winds to you.

Hello Rejean, I was born in Montreal Childrens Hospital and raised in Chambly, (On your South Shore), until I was 14. Loved and still love Montreal. Welcome and good luck...Allan
