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

[TN Rhodey]

A couple of years ago there was a poster who talked about sailing from NY to 
Bermuda in a 23 foot O'Day Tempest. The Tempest is another Philip Rhodes 
design and is a great looking boat although i wouldn't want to sail one to 
Bermuda. Anyone else remember this guy?
