[Rhodes22-list] Politics on the list.

[Steve]

 Well, I hate to say this but I guess were a sneaky &
hypocritical bunch:-)  The Charter been around for
years now.  Every topic you can think of regarding our
boats, we have talked about so many time I couldn't
even come up with a number.  Do you have a boat
questions; If I don't know the answer; I am sure
someone will come up with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
