[Rhodes22-list] It is quiet - Next Year's plans?

[Eaton, Gil]

	Hi Vic,
	I haven't sailed the Delaware, just power boated.  There are a
number of hazards on the Delaware (submerged pilings, Really Big Ships, and
the airport noise), so I would take it easy.  There is a Corinthian Yacht
Club in Essington, has a number of sailboats and perhaps sailing classes (a
number of 16 footers are pulled up on the lawn), you might think about
looking there and talk with the members.  They probably have a really cool
bar, looks like a 100 year old mansion.  It's at the end of the Essington
exit off I95 past the night club.  There are other marinas along the river
in Essington as well.  Most boaters go to the Chesapeake Bay, I started in
Elkton, now in Rock Hall with Mary Lou and Fred....and perhaps the Bulldog
crew.  I live in West Chester, near Kennet Square.

Hi,
Stan is currently refurbishing an '87' for me. I'm hoping to use the ramp at
the Commodore Barry bridge to drop it into the Delaware river. Have you
sailed the Delaware? My total experience is a 2 day course from Liberty
Sailing school. Any help a Rhodie could give me on my first sailings next
spring would be greatly appreciated.
