[Rhodes22-list] Winter sailing blues - cure found

[Mary Lou Troy]

Mark,
Sounds like the voice of experience. Actually looking at the bottom of the 
keel......

We haven't tried looking for high speed access on the water - heck we are 
finally going to broadband here at home.

If you keep the boat in MD they'll want their piece of your pie. 5% excise 
unless you've already paid that amount or more to another state. If that's 
not a problem, you could get to Deale up 301 and stay outside of the 
Beltway, Solomons too.

Keep us informed.
