[Rhodes22-list] Bill the Tennessee Traveling Rhodie

Bill:

	A much closer and appropriate sailing place would be the Gulf Coast.
Apalachicola Bay is too shallow for full keelboats, but ok for R22's and is
big.  The same is true for St. Joseph's Bay. 
	This past spring I went down without my boat to check the place out.
It was about a ten-hour drive from Greenville, SC.  There is no direct
interstate from here.  
	The City of Apalachicola has a municipal marina that would be good
for launching.  It is almost under the Hwy 98 Bridge.  There are a couple of
regular motels about a mile away.  On the ICW, there are a couple of
marinas, but no ramps.  
	In Port St. Joe, there is a big new marina with facilities and
launching.  Carrabelle has several marinas and caters to the Tallahassee
sailboat yacht crowd.
