[Rhodes22-list] Gotta Move South - Suggestions?

[Stan Spitzer]

great pictures Rummy,

While we can't stand NC's endless attempts to rewrite democracy in their 
own image, we can point out that Albemarle Sound (the second largest 
estuary in the US) has no tide (water level is amazingly constant year 
round), is brackish so rarely have to bottom paint, connects to the 
Ocean so can sail to anywhere in the world without lowering the mast, 
never have to take the boat out of the water, sail in January (if the 
wind is from the South) yet has less snow than Atlanta, GA.   plus can 
sail to the best Rhodes repairs facility.
