[Rhodes22-list] Winter sailing - in South Carolina

[Rob Lowe]

Ed,
Might have to do that sometime.  I'd like to meet you guys sometime.  Yes,
we take I-77 to Charlotte quite frequently.  It's good to know I-26 is open,
last time we went that way, they were still working on it.  The parts that
were open were wonderful and the parts they were working on were a mess. -
rob
