[Rhodes22-list] Re: Bud, look here

[Bud]

Ed ,
  thanks for the info... you are right, Rhodes 22's are hard to find.  
Last weekend I drove over Tampa
Bay and sailed with Bob and Sandy Fuller on their Rhodes 22.  We got in 
a good 4-5 hours of sailing. 
This was my first time to see and to sail on a Rhodes.  It was a lot of 
fun.  I got the feel of the boat pretty
quickly, as it was smooth and predictable.  If I don't find a Rhodes 
over here, then I will head back to Tampa
and visit Bob and Sandy for another outing.  I would love to sail with 
Rummy and learn the limits of a good boat -
and probably learn a little bit of my own limits.
