[Rhodes22-list] Trip to Edenton

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Eileen and Steve,
I certainly am sorry if you thought that I was suggesting that you would  
need lots of rum while learning to sail the Rhodes22. I would never suggest 
such  a thing. In fact, I would highly recommend it. Rum is good, beer is  
bitter.
 
Rummy

Thank you all for the encouragement and the very warm  welcome.  We are
planning our trip for this weekend if the weather  holds.  To be honest, I 
am
a bit anxious, since the NOAA is now  calling for day time winds between 12
and 14 kts.  I somehow think  this may be a bit strong for our first solo
trip.  Please let me know  if you agree, or I am being neurotic.  Since we
live in central NC,  rescheduling is not a horrible inconvenience.  I am
hoping Stan would  not let us do anything over our heads, and he did say 
that
the lenth of  time he would stay with us depends on how fast learners we 
are.   

We have taken the 1st 2 ASA classes, but that was over a year ago with  no
time on the water since.  Hence the decision to buy a boat.   We arrived at
the decision point of; do we want to sail?  Or do we  want to pretend we 
want
to sail?

I have noted all of the great  advice and headed as many as possible (even
bought Sailing for  Dummies).  But, while I appreciate Rummy's suggestion, I
think  libations are out for this trip until safely docked.

Thanks  Again,

Eileen and Steve
