[Rhodes22-list] Captain of the Metaphor - Happy New Year

[Mary Lou Troy]

Mike,
We do hope you are able to find time for Metaphor in and amongst all 
those racing commitments. Will getting the Pearson ready take time as 
well as money?

We love the Choptank and Little Choptank though we generally get down 
that far only once a year. We've been to Dun's Cove but never as far 
as Harris. It's nearly a full day for us to Knapp's. The Little 
Choptank is a favorite as are LaTrappe and the Tred Avon. The Miles 
is a little closer and we tend do that once a year as well. It's 
often been just a trip to St. Michael's and back but I really like 
the Wye and would like explore some of the other places off ther 
Miles as well. Last year we (some of the Chesapeake Rhodies) talked 
about a possible Rhodes Rhendezvous in Tilghman Creek off the Miles 
but planning kind of petered out. We didn't do nearly as much sailing 
as we would have liked last year - hoping that this coming season 
will be better.
