[Rhodes22-list] I'm Back

[Wally Buck]

Rik - congrats on the the race, you have IMF and the GB furler (175 genny) 
right? I am curious, were all of the boats IMF?

Sounds like a great trip, I really wish I could have made it. I got back 
from FL late Friday night. I was able to enjoy one of the nicer sailing 
weekends of the year on my end of the TN River. I was thinking of you guys.

Glad it went so well for all.

Wally
