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

[Vic Huebner]

Thanks Bob, Gil, and Tom for your input. It sounds like I'll have to plan my
practicing when the tides are pretty quiet. Although I bought the easy
mast-raiser from Stan so I could just trailer it down to the river, maybe I
should look a little further South for a slip to keep her.
