[Rhodes22-list] New Boat

[brad haslett]

Wally,

I don't know if the list is posting photos again yet
but I'll give it a shot with this e-mail.  The new
boat is in Baltimore and I have yet to figure out how
to get it home.  I'd love to sail it home on its own
bottom but I don't have the time.  On the other hand,
we're supposed to go to China next month for three
weeks and between SARS and United Airlines problems,
who knows.  I'd love to be a part of the "Vols Navy"
for at least one weekend of my life.

Brad
