[Rhodes22-list] Bought a boat!

[Mimi Schlichter]

Hello to all of you!  Remember me?  I wrote to you a little while back
asking your thoughts on a 1976 Rhodes that I was contemplating buying.
I signed off of the list for a while, and have come back on just for 24
hours to give you an update.

We researched Rhodes and Compac.  And then found ourselves passing
through Annapolis the weekend of the BIG sailboat show (what a hoot!).
While there, we stumbled upon the Precision line.    Kinda like falling
in love... you're not sure exactly what you're looking for, but you know
it when you see it?!  Well, to be fair, we continued to walk the show,
looking at the Compac in the water, and the Rhodes on trailer.

Then went BACK to the Precisions.  Three times!

Came home, and went on-line to search for a used one.  Found a Precision
21 just two hours away... had a chance to sail it on Saturday... felt
like home - we bought it!!!!

Not looking for feedback (the deal's already done!) but wanted to thank
all of you again for your help several weeks back.  I learned a LOT from
all of you - about what to look  for - what to avoid - and how to decide
what was right for my own personal needs.

also - for those of you attending the show next year - we found
availability of hotels at the BWI airport hotels just fine.  About 30-40
minutes from the show.  Worked out great.

Happy sailing everyone!
