I would have tried had I known...I haven't been on the Bluenose since 89. I really can't say enough about 'southern hospitality' !!! People came out from their homes to welcome us !! People came out on their boats to say' if you all need anything,just come right up my dock over there and get it'....OFTEN !! Another thing I can't say enough about is how the little catboat sailed!! Montgomery's are known to be fast lil boats and my fat lil cat boat kept up to weather and pulled ahead down wind ...to my surprise AND theirs !!
