Who am I ?

Just another Rhodes 22 sailer -sailing on Lake Monona  -Madison

Wi. ---Sailing "El Draque" --former name "Pax"

I have sailed with 14 adults on board and had no problems with the boat

(can't say that for the adults though )

I like the fact that the boat will not sink although with 14 on board
there

is about 1" of water in the cockpit !  The best time I have sailing is
at

night .I have had this boat for 2 years now and have also owned 3 other

sailboats -- An O'Day 19 -turtled in 2001 when hit by 40mph gust !!!  A

Lugar 17 and a long time ago (1976)

a homemade cat -that was demasted during a Tornado watch --We were
sailing

the boat at the time !  I have been sailing for 37 years .
