Dana;
Thanks for the introduction.
After the Nov 08 election it has settled down to mostly sailing talk on the
list. I have found it very helpful while finishing my second summer with my
'93/recycled '08 Rhodes. I had been away from sailing for many years and I
have really enjoyed it this past summer. I sail out of Highlands,NJ in the
Sandy Hook Bay and lower NY Harbor area. Keep in touch. Happy Holidays.
