[Rhodes22-list] Blanche DeFord - a special reply

[Tootle]

Blanche is usually a female name but you have not clarified the question.  We
recently had another newbie causing a female Rhodie inviting the newbie for
a sail and then sobering up when she saw others referring to the newbie as
male.  I though that she was just being ‘friendly’.  I commend you for
replying to posts so others know that you acknowledge them.

So you are not one of the Delaware DeFords?  West coaster, well then you
will probably fit in with most of this forum.  This forum ‘Tilts’ left, just
like California.  With sailboats the term is not tilt, but ‘heel’.  You
might review this web site:

[Scroll down to heel]

Most of the responders to your posts are east coasters, especially from
within 200 miles of Washington, D.C., so you will be getting responses
typical of those inside the ‘Beltway’.  However, you may want to get an idea
where Rhode’s 22 sailboats float.  See:

Understand two things about this web site.  First, it is not completely
accurate.  When people sell their sailboat, they seldom remove themselves
from this site.  Second, not all who own a Rhodes 22 are willing to tell the
world they have a sailboat.  I noticed that you did not tell us where you
and your gentleman friend sailed the R22.

One other site that I would like to bring to your attention is:

Why not learn about sailing, the language and the Rhodes 22 all at the same
time?  I would have to point out that this gentleman serves beer not rum as
others have discussed.

Addendum:
Ultimately, "Atlas Shrugged" is a celebration of the entrepreneur, the risk
taker and the cultivator of wealth through human intellect. Critics
dismissed the novel as simple-minded, and even some of Rand's political
admirers complained that she lacked compassion. Yet one pertinent warning
resounds throughout the book: When profits and wealth and creativity are
denigrated in society, they start to disappear -- leaving everyone the
poorer. * "
