[Rhodes22-list] New Rhodes owner

Susan:

Thanks for responding.  I don't race.  I am retired (more or less) and I like a good sail, but leisure is the concept I like to promote.  Racing leaves room for disappointment. I am way beyond the need for competition.  I was a cop for thirty-four years; I did all of the exciting stuff.  A good sail, now, includes a nice cigar and drinks on the hook.  

You have a good outboard motor mechanic at Two Rivers.  He's helped me out a couple of times.  We will certainly meet up this season.  Best of luck and congrats on your purchase.
