[Rhodes22-list] Blue Loon is heading to Wisconsin

[Steve Alm]

Julie and Dan,

Have a great trip and we'll see you when we all get home.  It's lousy 
weather here too and as soon as we get back to MN we have to do a turn 
around and go to Naples, Florida for a family memorial.  After that, we're 
in northern MN for a family reunion and that puts us back on Lake Minnetonka 
about the second week of Aug.  This is the wierdest summer ever!

We're heading out tomorrow for a beach getaway south of Recife for a few 
days--we're praying that the rain stops and the sharks don't eat us!  
Whatever--we'll have lots of stories to share. Glad you solved your 
trailering problem and as you know, we have the same problem.  Hope we can 
learn from your experience.

Good luck and happy sailing!

Slim
