[Rhodes22-list] True Confessions

[Paul Grandholm]

Wow, Rick, what a surprise!  Congratulations on your new boat.  I hope I 
get the chance to see it sometime.  I, for one, would love to see you 
hang around our list.  I think all former owners should qualify.  By the 
way, what are you doing with your Rhodes?  Are you selling it or turning 
it back in to GB to be recycled yet again?

>The deal is just about done, so it's time I fessed up. I'm afraid I have
>succumbed to that dreaded malady know as 2footitis. Although I did gain 2
>feet in height, I was able to temper my craving, at least somewhat, and
>reduce my length on deck by 2 feet. Yes, I bought a Pacific Seacraft
>Flicka, one of those 20 small boats John Vigor wrote about, that will take
>you anywhere. All I have to do now is figure out how to get away. :-) :-)

>I do hope though, that you all won't throw me off the list now for being a
>traitor. I still think the R22 is the best coastal cruising boat in the 22
>foot class. We have had an absolute ball with "Country Rhodes", learned a
>lot and met some of the nicest people on the planet. I do not regret for a
>minute ever having bought her.

>What say you all??? No stonings in the making I hope. :-) :-) I'd like to
>continue to "hang" with you folks, if you don't mind.

>Oh, by the way, this means I won't be able to defend my Spitzer Cup
>Invitational Rhodes 22 Regatta Championship next September. I will however
>be there (our reservations are already made) with my new (to me) boat,
>provided every one agrees not to throw rocks. I will have this fine brass
>cup polished up for the next champion. Maybe I can fill in as the new buoy
>at the far end of the course, or the committee boat or something.  :-)
