[Rhodes22-list] The Great Midwest

[Mary Lou Troy]

Michael,
Gusts to 50 knots and seas only to 6 ft? Looks like you win on winds but 
lose on waves. Ron managed 14 footers with only 35 knots.

Sorry the snow disrupted your plans to come to Strictly Sail Phila. Show 
was good not great. Yesterday we got to climb all over the big boats as 
crowds were very light. This morning was much better but we could still 
talk to vendors. We did a seminar and then left around 2 to make sure we 
got home before the trains stopped running. As it turns out I think we got 
only about 6-8 inches of snow in this first round and they are still 
operating - albeit well behind schedule.

BTW to keep the thread going, here's the Bay forecast. I may seem mild 
compared but we rarely see 5 ft. waves.

Good night to be home with the Famous Grouse.

Best wishes. Hope we see you sometime soon.

Mary Lou
