[Rhodes22-list] Small temporary replacement motor

[Saroj]

David,

Someone mentioned that Stan uses an electric motor to get in and out of his
creek.  Also Anne (Kentucky Lake) used to scull with the rudder.  I've used
a paddle from time to time just for the hell of it.

You could borrow my motor but it is Virginia.  Sorry.
