[Rhodes22-list] Speaking of Sailing, and the list...

[Tatflies at cs.com]

Yesterday, I experienced a wonderful sailing experience that I want to share. 
The boat was a beautiful Hunter 33.5, skillfully sailed by gracious list 
member Anne. The air was cool, the breeze fresh and the company grand.

Kentucky Lake was virtually empty and mostly flat. We sailed upwind with a 
single reef in the main and a full (150) headsail. Once the boat was set on each 
tack, the helm was seldom touched. The boat pointed nicely without any 
effort! We spun around after a nice stretch of water under her keel and sailed a 
casual run back toward the harbor. Anne's attention to detail was evident in the 
way she sails and the way she maintains her boat. 

Anne, thanks again for your generous gift of time. Kentucky Lake is a great 
sailing lake and the fall colors enhanced the whole experience.

As a relative newbie (7/06), I am so impressed with the kindness and 
generosity of the two people that I have been fortunate to meet from this list. This 
list is truly made up of a special group of individuals.
