[Rhodes22-list] Dave - Locales and Strom Thurmond

[Claude Cox]

Art;

I used to be at Hartwell, and injoyed it, even more than Lanier (bigger,
and quieter--read no power boats).  But the distance (2+ hrs) made it very
difficult to get there, so I moved to Lanier a couple of years ago--Rummy
and his friend, Roger, helped me move it.  Presently, I'm on X dock, slip
#14, but am going to move to a power slip--M 49.

I have not had a trailer, but am in the market for one, preferably a used
one I can try out to see if it's my game.  If it is, then I'll invest in a
new one.  There are lots of places in the southeast I'd like to take a boat
to, including Hartwell, so if it works out, I'll become a Rhodes "roady."

Just remembered that I was out on Lanier several months ago, and met
another Rhodes--blue hull, I think--I was startled to suddenly see a
Rhodes; could that have been you?

Claude
