[Rhodes22-list] New Rhodie plus everyone

[Kroposki]

Ken,
	Sorry about your physical problems.  If you should happen to
visit this part of the country, let me know and I will see if I would be
able to take you for a sail.  Keep in mind that my boat is usually in
the water all year long.  I plan to take it out of Hartwell in August
for about two weeks only to take it to the coast.    
                     Ed K

cj, I joined the rhodes group in 2001 when I picked up a recycled boat.
I found the rhodes to be a very forgiving sailboat which can handle
almost anything on L. Michigan. Beyond that, the rhodies as a group are
exceptionately nice and willing to share their knowledge with anyone who
asks for help. Unfortunately I have developed ALS and am not able to
stand without assistance so I am selling Awaken to a friend. I will try
to monitor the list to see what is going on and perhaps add my remarks
where appropriate. Fair Winds Ken

Hi folks,<br>  I thought I would introduce myself,before I start asking
all the questions.I'm Jerry Lowe,I  live in the country close to
Wooster, Ohio, with my wife Carol,and sea dog, Duke (Dalmatian).We also
have a golden mix,she is very smart,she won't ride in the car ,let alone
get on the boat with me.We became the proud owners of a 1986 R-22 about
3 weeks ago.We put her in Charles Mill lake near Mansfield ,Ohio.A great
lake to learn on,9.9 hp limit,mostly pontoon/houseboats, very nice and
courteous people , even on the 4th of July it's not very crowded.There
is a sailing club on the far end of the lake,but I think they are mostly
racing type people,only 1 cruiser moored there,the rest are dry
stored,one design racers.<br>I moved up from a com-pac 16(hi Mary Lou)
which was nice,but I just love the Rhodes.All boats should have
IMF&furling jib,even with my limited experience,when the winds pick up,I
can trim the canvas down to get back to my safety zone.<br>The sun is
starti
 ng to peep out and the wind is picking up,it's time to head for the
lake.<br>                                                      fair
winds,<br>
