[Rhodes22-list] Boat Finally Repaired!

[Mary Lou Troy]

Congratulations Lee. It must have been a really great feeling to sail 
her home. She looks great! Who did the work?

Hope to see you on the water this year (or at least maybe meet up for 
a beer.) fretless is in the side yard getting ready for what we hope 
is a SAILING season.

Best,
Mary Lou
