Harrison,
Is it the size of the cabin or the fact that she wants a powder
room. Has she seen the newer layout of the current Rhodes. The layout
with the little room for the head is very different. Did she see the
new layout when to went to Edenton? Or were you the only one who went in
and sat down?
Now if Stan had brought a new Rhodes to Greenville this
weekend, you would have been able to see what I am talking about.

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
