[Rhodes22-list] Rhodes 22

[Jay Friedland]

Al,
If LBI is considered coastal-bay or ocean, I would gladly offer you 
first hand coastal experience from the cockpit. Actually haven't done 
that since last night when Lou Moore, a prospect from North Jersey 
sailed with his wife, and then turned over the helm to her. They may 
chime in, but she's been raised around boats, and said it was the best 
sail of her life-moved nicely in 5 kt winds. 24 hour notice is all I 
ask. Saturdays may have to be shared with other Rhodies on board.

All other questions can be addressed live, or from the many viewpoints 
on the list. Cell is 201/803-5665 (business), but live here full time.
