[Rhodes22-list] advertisement for a loaner boat

[stan]

Richard,

I am not so sure I would trust my judgment.  I was born in Sheepshead Bay. 
The Mic Mac and Miramar were my diving platforms and one day when the Bay 
was semi frozen over (Todd is right) I thought I was invincible and walked 
across to Manhattan Beach while the flexible salty ice water rippled up and 
down with each hesitant step.  Luckily I did turn out to be invincible and 
went on to build Rhodes sailboats (which, of course, verifies my poor 
judgment by attempting something so frivolous as boat building to try to 
make a living).

I will get you info on the San Juan via the post office.
