[Rhodes22-list] The time has come, the walrus said...

[Lloyd Crowther]

Speaking of many things, I have begun to experience old age legs.  The problem has been increasing lack of mobility, stiff joints, difficulty bending over to pick up dog poop (a major factor in my life style), getting in and out of my car, and walking with a shuffle.  The solution, medication.  The results, not so great.  I guess I have to stop thinking of myself as a spry 65 year old and accept that the ensuing 13 years are beginning to take their toll.  I was ready to accept memory problems, I have always been a fuzzy thinker anyhow, but this has come as a surprise.

After spending three weeks off the water because of these problems I went out sailing last Monday.   Single handing as usual.  Beautiful day, peaceful, comfortably cool, and 
enough breeze to keep the boat going.  But what a reality check.  I had trouble moving from the cockpit to the deck, especially under way, and even more trouble going the other way.  Lame is too gentle a description.

In any event, I am beginning to think it is time to accept my single handing days are drawing to a close and begin playing more online Poker.   Therein lies my problem.  Uhuru II took water during last September's visit by Hurricane Isabel's storm surge.  No physical damage to the hull but lots of water below decks and a greater appreciation of Sam's built-in flotation.  Everything repaired or replaced.  But I need some advice about a fair asking price for an '84 Rhodes.  I have attached a list of some of Uhuru II's features.  She is at the Holiday Marina, Mayo, Maryland, in slip C22.  The sails are old but serviceable.  Any pricing suggestions would be appreciated!
