[Rhodes22-list] Awful quiet on the list.

[Kroposki]

Bruce,
	We are all here waiting for your input.

Rummy,
	My boat is out of the water.  Getting the bottom job you
recommended.  I have been doing a lot reading about bottoms and
fiberglass boats.  The experts say that all fiberglass boats will get
'blisters'.  It is only a matter of when.  My boat had three to five
small blisters and a couple of dings, which have now been repaired.  If
it doesn't rain they should have all the new paint on by next weekend.  

To All:
	I found Stan's secret to building boats!  In my extensive
readings, I found a book published in 1957.  It is 'How to Build
Fiberglass Boats' by Charles Bell.  This very old very used edition
makes you think 'General Boats'.
If you have ever seen the plant in Edenton you would appreciate what I
am describing.  This book is very old and used, but still serviceable
and relevant.  Stan must have seen or read this book and said 'Aha!'
                                   Ed K

I've been scratching my increasingly balding head trying to figure out
why 
the list has been so quiet. I finally figured it out this morning. All
our 
northern sailing friends are either scrambling to take their boats out
for the 
season or they already have them on the hard. 
I guess it's just up to us southerners to keep the chatter alive.
Ed, I hear that Yankee Clippers auto-pilot should be installed this
weekend.

Rummy
