Winter sailing - was RE: [Rhodes22-list] Football.

[Rob Lowe]

Wally,
Mark and I both sail on Claytor Lake, about 30 minutes south on I-81, but
Mark has a slip and I don't :)  .

There used to be a Spanky's over near the Kroger's grocery store, but that
wasn't on the main drag.  The bar on the main drag on the corner is now
"Woodys". - Rob
