Mary Lou & Lee:

Thanks for the advice & photo.  I may elect to simply tie a safety line on the 
rudder assembly.  I hadn't considered the possibility of tearing off the 
brackets when running aground.  I am looking at a marina at Hack's 
Point...pretty far up.  My buddy has a boat there, and I've noted that it is a 
long sail to the bay.  I will not put her in until the spring of 2012, so lots 
of time to consider.  I hope to be able to meet lots of Rhodes people up there.

Joe

Hi Joe,

We use a stainless hose clamp on the pin.

Before you decide where to keep your boat, I'd strongly suggest you 
look a little further south. The northern Elk River is shallow and 
full of powerboat traffic. There are some nice marinas on the Bohemia 
but daysailing would be limited to the Bohemia and Upper Elk. When we 
first started sailing we used to sail out of Elk Neck State Park but 
soon looked for a place further south to keep the boat. The Sassafras 
has some nice marinas but a long motor to get out to the bay. We 
sailed out of the Middle River for a while but then moved over to the 
Eastern Shore. There are good marinas at Worton, Tolchester and Rock 
Hall. Even Rock Hall is less than 2 hours from center city 
Philadelphia. In any event welcome back.
