[Rhodes22-list] We Gotta Regatta

[Jim Mowrey]

Dana,
We've only sailed Stockton one time, and that was July of this year. We had
a ball. Great lake, beautiful scenery, and almost no power boats. Spent
three days there, and would like to go back. Not sure about racing, as we
haven't done that, but might try it. We saw the "derelict" Rhodes at the end
of the dock. Had what looked like a fairly new Honda outboard laying in the
cockpit, but didn't look like the boat had been moved in a looong time.
