[Rhodes22-list] Retrieval of Boat

[Claude Cox]

Rummy;

I probably still have some experimenting to do to find the most favorable 
position for the boat on the trailer.  Your mention of bungees reminded me 
of Alex Bell, whom I remember as using bungees every chance he had.

Have you had any experience with coiling the shrouds as a safe way to secure 
for traveling?  Always good to hear from you.
