[Rhodes22-list] Far Niente Namesake

[Daniel Hope]

Thanks for the info, John.  I didn't know there was another Far Niente out
there.  Next time I am in D.C. I'll have to go and take a look.

I was able to get the Daingerfield Island Sailing Club site, but not the picture
of Far Niente.

Thanks,

Dan
