[Rhodes22-list] Test Sail on Chesapeake-- Rhodes 22

[lcrowther]

Gene and Carol,

If you can not hook up with Jim H., I have an '84 Rhodes 22 that I sail out
of Mayo.  Sunday I took most of the gear off the boat, i.e.,radio, tools,
foul weather gear, etc. and disconnected the battery, porta-potty and water.
Consequently the boat is pretty well striped but the sails and motor are
still on in case I wanted to go out again.  I don't have many goodies like
an IMF main or fancy chairs but I guess my boat sails just like the next
one.  I am retired so am flexible but very weather-aware at this time of the
year.  You can contact me at lcrowther@cox.net if you can't make other
arrangements.
