[Rhodes22-list] The Rhodes floats.

Joe,
Just curious since I have layed Rum Runner over in the water with the mast  
in the water, what prevented yours from righting. Once we released the 
sails,  she popped back up, even with about fifty to sixty gallons of water in 
the  cabin.

Rummy:

I remember this photo, vividly,  as it was one of those that swung me 
toward buying the R22.  When mine  went down last year, she was rolled onto her 
port side by a viscous wind of  some sort and rested on the shallow bottom of 
the Bohemia River.  The  marina crew COULD NOT RIGHT HER.  They had to drag 
her to the dock and  winch her upright.  Given, the masthead was in the 
mud, but even after  clearing it, the boat refused to go "mast to the sky."  
The last time I  sailed was late July.  I have much lost time I want to make 
up for come  April.  

I suppose I am the evil side of the  coin.  It's nice (at least) to have an 
identity.  ttfn.
