[Rhodes22-list] Submerged Rhodes

[KUHN, LELAND]

It had to have been more than snow and ice.  My boat has been covered in
snow since December 18th.  At times the drift caused by the marina
bulkhead piled the snow up to the boom.  I still don't think the snow
weighed any more than a portly crew.

I visited my boat yesterday.  There was still a little bit of snow on
the cockpit floor but I was able to access the cabin.  I was surprised
to find that the bilge and cushions were dry--no evidence of
condensation either.

I think the spring sailing season has started!

your and Rummy of course are correct - I think that is a shallow water
way 
and might theorize that the snow load was enough to push it down enough
to 
bed the keel in the mud (the self bailers would have been clogged) and
once 
full of water it did not take much resistance to keep it down?
