not sailing yet Re: [Rhodes22-list] Race team cheer

Well, the bottom paint's done, the teak's done, centerboard cap is 
reinstalled, the port is rebedded, the UPS hardware is installed, the 
stitching has been repaired on the pop-top enclosure, there are a couple of 
new cushions/pillow shams for the cabin and we've started organizing the 
gear. Fred's started cleaning and I'm about to join him in the scrubbing 
and polishing. We have a water flow issue with the Honda outboard but 
hopefully we'll have it back by Friday when we expect to launch.

If the pic I've attached comes through I took it moments ago and shows the 
current state of affairs. Congrats on your early season sailing!
