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

[Wickman, William E]

Joseph,

I'm just catching up on emails and ran across your request.  I believe
you are referring to my trip.  The trip I took was actually to the
Bahamas, not Bermuda.  I don't think I would consider sailing to Bermuda
in a Rhodes22 as there is way to much distance between land masses for
my taste.

You should be able to find my story, to date, in the Rhodes22 list
archives, or go to Nabble.com and look there.  They start with Day 0,
and so far go through Day 10.  

Bill W.

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.
