[Rhodes22-list] I'm now an official Rhodie

[Hank]

Mike,

I tried to reply to you off list but it bounced back and gave me an error
message.

I appreciate the directions and I certainly didn't know about the trailer
restrictions.  I would have been big time lost with out them.  We are
planing on coming up this Sunday to pick up the boat.  It is at Old Man's
Boat Yard on Columbia Street in Port Jefferson.

My Cell number is 301-512-6745.  If you don't mind, could I get yours so
that I can call you to discuss the route?
