[Rhodes22-list] Straw Poll Ocean or Lake

[Geankoplis]

Good observations Ron,
			  L.A. and Catalina are on my list, probably do that
on the way to Mexico again.  The Bahamas was great for me, like it was for
Bill.  I was lucky enough to stay a couple of months over there so got to go
all over.  I think the boat is almost always way more capable than
ourselves.  It won't be the boat that will let you down very often.  Trying
to figure an excuse that would let me try your neck of the woods some time.

Ron,

I suspect the better choice comparison in this debate is lake and coastal,
both of which are game for our R22.  I have also found that insurance
underwriters are very sensitive to the issue - they prefer the 'lake'
definition, although they will include 'coastal and inland' if you press the
issue and are a legit fiscal conservative like Stan.  I'm not sure about
Lee, the army guy that owes me a lunch, bigtime...

I'm not sure the Chesapeake would really fit in the insurance definition as
a 'lake', so at risk of stirring a hornet's nest, which I never ever do, our
colleagues on Chesapeake Lake might so validate their insurance coverage
definition, just to cover their six.  LIS sailors might do likewise - Pugit
Sound to boot.  Just an ounce of prevention.

Re the 'ocean' option, I have never had to venture beyond coastal, probably
never will care to.  We have such beautiful options in Florida for
trailing/sailing, I even question the necessity for Bahamas, although Bill
Wittman had his spectacular Bahama Adventure.  San Juan sailing would be
perfecto, although a long way to trail from EC.  Chris the Greek has sailed
the Pacific Coast, so I wonder if he would venture on a N-S cruise to a San
Diego/LA/Catalina destination.  I have speculated on an Everglades to
Brownsville extended via the coastal waters, although any extensive cruising
would have to be alot more fun with 2+ boats, also much safer and more
confident.  

I wonder if many of stretch our options with the R22 to anywhere near our
capabilities.  I have greatest admiration for the Kellers of
RichmondHillTown fame with their determined anchoring cruises out of Punta
Gorda.  I am convinced that they have a ball!  

Frankly, my most prime objective with the BR has been to prove-in the
potential of stratching beyond day-sailing in this magnificent boat.  Many
have no interest in this, but all of us, including those we pass our boats
to someday, will have the honest capability.
