[Rhodes22-list] Da List

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Mike,

I will take the liberty to thank you on behalf of all Rhodies. We are eternally grateful to you for keeping this list alive. It is a source is comfort & confidence to new & veteran Rhodies that we can deal with any issues involving our boats. 

May you be blessed with fair winds, sail more & motor less.
