[Rhodes22-list] Re: Lou's NEW ('81) Rhodes!!

[Lou Rosenberg]

Bill & MJM,
  Thanks for the laugh!!
   My boom is filled with BEES!!
   I thought  I would give them a few more days to find another honeypot 
before I tried to eradicate them.. might even call a bee keeper or just 
get a can of RAID.
  Boat is heading to Gateway Marina b/c its just a 30min bike ride from 
home ( Kennsington)  Thought about approaching a homeowner with 
additional space a few blocks away but that would just make me nervous 
about  break ins.. The yard seems like the best place to work on it for 
the time being.
  Want to upgrade to IMF and new headsail also.. My jib needs sewing but 
could be used. Have new sailbag on boom (Doyle Sailpack).
  This boat was sold to a Leo Israel by Stan originally.  I am 
supposedly the third (jewish) owner . Not much of a Jew any more, as I 
have found another path to my higher power which might be revealed in 
the choice of our naming of the boat: EVERYDAY MIRACLES.


  trust me its a miracle I could afford a Rhodes!!
  thanks  and will chime in soon with thousands of stupid questions , 
but know how to access archives too and will do!
  Lou

  "its not just a project boat if you enjoy being out in the sun and 
working on your labor of love!"
