[Rhodes22-list] Annapolis Boat Show plans

[KUHN, LELAND]

Art,

Yes I agree that Allison is much nicer, especially on the eyes.

Statistically Army has got to win again soon so the bet is on!

I so look forward to the boat show and seeing everyone that it kills me
that I may not be able to attend this year.  I might be able to get
there late Thursday afternoon but I hate to pay VIP pricing for half a
day.  Have a rum (Mt. Gay) on me!

Mary Lou,

Have you any indication of interest in doing a Rhoadie Event during this
year's show?  I recall that we got together for a Friday lunch in '07,
possibly not since. Saturday might be feasible, except for weekend
crowds in Annapolis.  We have increased the R22 population so much in
the DC/Bay area since then, there might be an interest in a
get-together.  Even though Rummy might have a tough time getting to the
show, we could put a picture at one place at the table, next to a bottle
of rum (Ronrico, of course!)

I am well along on launching River Boat Mary Jane (R/B Mary Jane),
complete with her new dress and an upcoming tiller-pilot.  After
marginal summer sailing heat and winds, I think auto-motoring with the
stubby mast and cockpit "porch" enclosure may be preferred for part of
the year, especially if I use screens all around, like Bruce and Karyn
have on LIS.  I thought about bringing it up to Annapolis, but will
probably wait until Spring and keep her in the area for part of the
year.  Allison will probably retire in April, giving us more time to
enjoy your good life on the Chesapeake!  Wow!

If I make it up to the show I am planning to being some new 3D photo
equipment and get some good picures at the show and in the Yard.  Some
of our skippers might to see what I am using, maybe get some good shots
of the boats.  I'm new with this 3D, so may be able to learn from the
experience of others in the fleet.  I'll bet that Cowie has tinkered in
this techie world.  

We have continued to stay in touch with R22 alums Ron and Linda
Singerman, now somewhat settled in their Seminole home, just blocks from
our own abode.  I never realized how great his interest is in wood
carving until I saw the extensive equipment that fills many rooms.  He
is so well pleased with his IP 27, and has taken it on club cruises in
the Gulf Keys.  He will fill your ears as you are curious.  

A few months ago I didn't mean to 'bait' Caesar about getting into
Florida in the Winter, the welcome mat is out.  Being pretender snow
birds yourself, you and Fred have enjoyed coming down.  You ought to
trail your boat down and consider keeping it in Florida part of the
year, out of the winter vigors.

I hope that you and Fred had nice Summer outings this year.  I hope to
lean on you all and get a good travelog of anchorages and ports-o-call
for next Spring and beyond.  I look forward to introducing Allison to
you all - you'll find she is much nicer than this Navy scoundrel, just
ask Lee and he will agree.  He has lost three bets on the A-N game to
date, so sad...



More later, and very best regards,

Art
