[Rhodes22-list] Congrats, Rik!

[Rik Sandberg]

Thanks Doug,

Heck yeah, the marina we should be in isn't hard to find. You know you'd be
welcome anytime at all. C'mon over!!!

I was seriously considering swapping out an R22 IMF for the standard mast
:-) :-) After all, it seems they are about the same length. :-) :-) No
doubt, I will miss the IMF!! I don't want to disappoint Steve though, I've
got a full batten standard main now and I know he would be proud. :-)

I have a Chevy 1 ton wheel wrecker (picks cars up by the front wheels) that
I have converted so it is also capable of towing trailers (take off the
wheel cradles). I use this at the track as a tow/push truck. Since I will be
keeping the Flicka in the water, I should be done towing the boat by the
time I need the wrecker at the track and the track will be closed again by
the time we are ready to pull the boat and make the trip to Ky Lake in
Sept...... Or I could use a Peterbilt (don't have any KW's), Probably ride
better. :-)

By golly, I'd be honored to give you a ride, but you already knew that.

Rik
