[Rhodes22-list] launched

[Lowe, Rob]

Tom,
Congratulations!  Nothing like learning a new boat.  I'm envious.
Mine's still under a tarp and I won't even get to think about her for
another two weeks.  Enjoy sailing and give us plenty of updates. - rob

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.
