[Rhodes22-list] Diane - mainsail halyards

[DIANE RUSSELL]

Ed,

Just seems like there is never enough time to get everything in in the short 
months of summer up here in NY. Spending time on the computer doesn't always 
fit in. I work full time and then some and when the Lake says OK! I try to 
get as much time as I can on it. Not very cooperative this year.

Maybe I need the Carribean!

Diane
