[Rhodes22-list] test

Sun Oct 8 17:56:49 EDT 2006

Hi, Art,

If i'd known that you were sippin a rum something
-or-other, i'd have looked around more.  ;^)  Where
were you & your Boom Room...over with the test sail
boat?? i really wanted to see it.

When I was there i didn't even think of high
tide....what  a mess that must have been....I hope no
one had product ruined.....

Won't be making it back again this year....the marina
store where I work has flooded each high tide since
Friday...going on five floods ...may have one last one
tonight...so it's been a mess...we also had fire when
a tree fell on the power line leading to the marina &
caught fire....pestilence?? yea, that, too...the mice
that live under the floor of the store drowned.....

It was Regatta weekend, so the marina was crawling
with people....and extra boats....Since the Regatta
was cancelled on Sat as the winds were @45kt at the
mouth of the river, we had an Origami Regatta...we
made paper boats & sailed them on the rising tide in
the parking lot (picture of winner attached)

Monday I have to sand & paint @115' of crown
molding....while the dog tries to chew the ends...
