[Rhodes22-list] launched

[Tom Hogarty]

Morning Star, is now at her slip on the  Rhode River, Edgewater, Maryland. 
Elton brought her up on Thursday, and did a terrific job of teaching us
packing, unpacking, mast raising, rigging, launching, and because of a
fouled motor, retrieving.  He came back with a new motor on Saturday and we
launched again.  Sailed in 4-8 knot wind on Sunday, a hot summers day in
April (93).  I really thought I could bring it together to sail up, allowing
9 days for the trip, but it was too damn complicated, especially with a new
boat, '96 reconditioned.  Elton is the kind of businessman that my
grandmother always wanted me to be.  Great role model.  Maybe too late, as I
am already retired. He patiently outlined every feature of Stan's design so
we could enjoy all of the features.
