[Rhodes22-list] Newbie Rhodie: Jim

[james.smith866@verizon.ne]

Rummy tells me that newbie's usually introduce themselves BEFORE they ask for
help (see IMF for old Rhodes) but I guess it's better late than never (I
guess I took the warnings about keeping it short too seriously).

I just bought a '73 from a great guy in Rocky Point, NY and had it hauled
down to Philly - actually Essington - where I have it in a slip on the
river.  I am an experienced sailer - raced J27s with Liberty Sailing Club,
have my bareboat and have chartered often - but this is my first boat to
own.  

I did some research before I bought it and knew that the Rhodes22 was for
me.  My wife has NO interest in sailing so I expect to be doing a lot of
single-handed sailing and may end up taking it to the Jersey shore so I
wanted something with a shallow draft.  Everything pointed to the Rhodes.

So that's my story - to start.

Jim (sometimes known as JD)
