[Rhodes22-list] Winter sailing blues - cure found

[Mary Lou Troy]

You'll be glad for the dinghy with the 5'8' draft. You could do Swan Creek 
but you'll need to be careful and watch the tides.

I would think cable might be easier to find than DSL. You might have to 
look closer to the cities - Norfolk? or further North - Annapolis? 
Baltimore? Deale's not a big city but might have access.

What a beautiful boat - did I say congratulations?
