[Rhodes22-list] Hey Bob.

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Bob,
My T 8 is so old that it's a 2 stroker, thus the weight difference. I have  
the 20 inch shaft. I'm really glad the new medication is working for you 
and you  are going to continue sailing.

Rummy:  Lucked into a newly approved oral medication for my  leukemia - 
approved on Feb 12th and I started on Feb 20th.  Doing so well  toward a 
remission we pulled the for sale ad.  We want to sail  more!  

Just ordered the new traveler!  {:>)

BTW  how long is the shaft on the T 8?  I really like the weight compared 
to  the Y9.9's 98#.

Cheers and Thanks for You Positive Thoughts on my CLL  Fight!

Bob

Atlantic, it is nice to have the power to fight the tides into  and out of 
the inlets.  Also a few times caught out in an unexpected  thunder storm on 
the inter coastal or on the St. Lucie River we needed the  power to get home 
or to a place of refuge.

 My point,  I learned to sail on boats without motors.  I hate them!  But 
when  you need them...
