[Rhodes22-list] Ready to sail!

[Mark Kaynor]

Mary Lou,

It's 42 and still snowing. We're supposed to have partly cloudy and 40s
tomorrow, then chance of rain in the morning, clearing and upper 50s
Tuesday. we're still shooting for Tuesday, but time will tell.

Like you, we've still got some projects to do, but we're so sick of waiting
we decided that we can do most of them with the boat in the water. Any that
can't will have to wait until we head up for the Rhendezvous or some other
time we're pulling it anyway. November thru March is just too long.....

Bummer about the bad 4200, but I can relate. We have to pretty much mail
order anything nautical down here in the mountains. Including Cetol and
bottom paint (w/ the hazardous shipping charges), or we have to make do w/
what we can rig up from stuff at the local hardware store. Sounds likeyou
guys are making some good progress.

Mark
