[Rhodes22-list] Welcome and Ready to sail!

[Leland]

Mary Lou,

Stopped by the marina office last night prior to a wonderful evening sail.

Plenty of transient and annual slips available (sign of the times).  Sunday
through Thursday the slips are $1.75/foot.  Weekend and holidays they're
$2.00/foot.  On the marina/pool/showers south side, there's a 35 foot
minimum.  On the portapotties north side there's no minimum.  Depending on
your slip, it could be as much as a quarter mile walk to the marina office,
which has snack foods and drinks.

There's an expensive 5-star (Leland rating) sushi restaurant just outside
the marina gates with a much cheaper decent food bar/restaurant below it.

Phone number is 410.643.5599.  I talked to Jerri last night.  I'm in slip
2A, but if you describe my little red Rhodes everyone will know who I am. 
Betsy's the manager, Fred's the dockmaster, and Jim's the liveaboard who
works there.  All nice folks.

Hope to see you and Fred this weekend!

Lee
