Ed, I really did enjoy the sail and also liked the boat. It does sail
differently than my last two sail boats, but that's not a problem with the
Rhodes. I am still "discussing" the matter with my wife. She would like a
little more room in the cabin(my last boat was a Pearson 31). We will
hopefully have our attitudes coordinated by the week end.
Again I can't tell you how much I appreciated and enjoyed being on your both
with you and your wife.
Thanks again, Harrison
