[Rhodes22-list] New here - intro and some questions (dry sailing)

[Mary Lou Troy]

Can't remember what we paid - it was 11 years ago. However they have 
a rate sheet on their website 
(http://www.bowleysmarina.com/docs/Rate%20Sheet%201-25-10.pdf) and 
last year's price was $12/foot/month - so $264/month.
