[Rhodes22-list] Shelter Island plus storm damage

[BRUCE GREENWALD]

I was on a friend's power boat Saturday afternoon at about 1:30 and from 
some distance saw what looked to be a white hull R 22 crossing the South 
Ferry line between Sag Harbor and Shelter Island in NY.  The lines 
looked like a Rhodes and I thought I saw what appeared to be the pop top 
up.  Unfortunately, the boat was too far away to be sure and my captain 
was hurrying elsewhere so we couldn't turn back to check it out.  Any of 
you Rhodies in the area at the time?

In the meantime, I received a call this mornng from the mooring 
contractor in Old Greenwich who told me that a storm that came through 
quickly last night had flipped a dozen boats and that mine was riding 
low in the water and appeared to have at least one sail flapping.  I 
cant check it out until later today at the earliest but I now realize 
that I needed to pay more attention t all those recent posts about 
waterin the bilge!
