Greetings, Last fall I purchased a Potter 19. I hope to put her in the water by the end of the month. In the mean time I have been refinishing the wood, replacing knotted lines with eye splices, checking the rigging and doing a lot of trailer sailing in the drive way. For the summer my home port will be at the Bitter End Marina in Bayview, Idaho on Lake Pend Oreille. My question to the group is: Are there any other Potter sailors on Lake Pend Oreille, or in the Spokane, WA area. If so it would be fun to meet some other potter people. Years ago (20 or better) we sailed a Sparrow 16 in Penn Cove on Whidbey Island. When we get comfortable with sailing the P19 we hope to do some sailing in the San Juans. Maybe we can hook up with the Northwest Potters on a few of their trips. Anyway I would enjoy hearing from Potter sailors in WA and ID. Thanks
