[Rhodes22-list] Sailing the open ocean in a Rhodes

[Joseph Hadzima]

Hello Slim & and the rest of the gang ..

Just before I found this group I did a search for Rhodes22
and somehow came upon an article (actually more like
someone's blog) about three guys sailing to Bermuda(?) in a
Rhodes22.  I can't seem to locate the story online anywhere
now.  Since you seem to have good search skills, perhaps
you recall the story, or can point me to it?

thanks and happy non-smoking Saturday!

BTW, I quit many times, but the last time it stuck 14 years
ago.
