[Rhodes22-list] Best Laid Plans - Trailering

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Peter,

If I recall correctly Stan loaned me a transport plate for one of the trips.

I have to say, having had both a slip and a mooring, both have advantages but overall I like the mooring better. As soon as you step aboard you are on your boat and at peace. Camping on your boat right at the mooring is great if you don't have time for a destination cruise. And in a storm I'd rather have the boat swing into the wind. Most of the time at least. Launch service certainly helps. 

Best of luck,

Dave B

The marina website mentions that they offer on trailer boat storage for people using the state ramp for launching.  Thinking that this might be a less expensive option for me next year when I have a truck to launch with, I asked about the price.  I can’t recall the exact figure, but it was a bit over $1000.  So not only would it cost more money, but there’s an overhead power line between the marina and the ramp, so I’d have to step the mast every time as well.  Such a deal!  Maybe I’ll learn to love the mooring.
