[Rhodes22-list] Seaward26RK

[Glen & Dorene Barrera]

Thanks for the note on reef points. Wyls is an exceptional person.

We are also having GB put in the larger winches and doing the bottom paint.
There are countless decisions we've had to make on this boat.
Even ordered a spinaker. Have to read up on how they work :)

It should be fun going to FL to pick up Bulldog II. We are looking to the
mid May time frame where we will pick the new 'ChickieBabe' up in NC.

We will keep in touch. Best to you Bulldogers.

Glen and Dorene
