[Rhodes22-list]Lloyd's Good Old boat for retrofit

[ed kroposki]

Lloyd,
	How would you be stuck at the mast, oh, I forgot, you have a
standard main.  I can reef my main from the cockpit.  Gee, IMF is a good
system for old sailors.  
	Remember that Stan might be able to retrofit your boat with an IMF.
Unfortunately, it would probably cost as much as your boat.  Then if you had
him do that, you might be sailing for how many more years?  He also has an
electric motor lift.  Maybe you could get him to make a powered IMF?
	The alternative is

	Sitting on a deck chair ogling the old ladies, sipping mineral
water, and becoming physically unfit from doing nothing.

Thanks for the kind words, Ed.

Being buried at sea on Uhuru II is one thing, but starving to death holding
on to the mast because I couldn't get back down into the cockpit when I was
singlehanding doesn't really cut it with us Vikings, even us young ones.

Lloyd,
Sounds like a good deal for someone.  Be advised that there were
quite a few lookers at the Annapolis Boat Show.  I bet some of those lookers
are lurking on this list.  My problem is us other Rhodies losing you. I
thought you had Viking blood and wanted to be buried in your boat.  I just
do not think you will be happy on Disney Cruise Lines.
Another mater is the forthcoming article about the Rhodes 22 in a
spring issue of 'Good Old Boats'.  Anybody wanting to comment before
publication should contact Donald Launer, Contributing Editor.  His email
address is LaunerDM at aol.com

P.S. For us Southerners, Strom Thurmond set the example, do not stop until
triple digits.
