[Rhodes22-list] Hurricane Dorian General Boats Update

[C Gabriel]

Hi Rhodes Folks,
I would be worried if I didn't know how Stan and General Boats managed
 through the storm so I wanted to share the good news with you.

General Boats and our own General Spitzer are just fine, with no damage to
either.

Many in NC struggle with power outages and roads over washed from storm
surges, but nothing like the catastrophic damage in the Bahamas.

Stan asked me to say that in his 33 plus years in NC, Edenton remains a
charming little town, sans floods, tornadoes, and earthquakes.  And, this
wouldn’t be an email from Stan without an anecdote so he provides this:

“When the news is telling how bad it is in this area they are talking about
the rivers, not the Sound. I went to visit one Rhodes owner who lived up
the Chowan River.  I found their house mostly under water and they were so
glad to have their Rhodes at their floating dock to live on 'til the river
levels returned to normal.

I remember standing on the balcony admiring my Rhodes when I got a call
from a Northern concerned family member who heard on TV I was drowning.  I
told them I do have to admit there is enough wind to tempt me to go for a
sail. “ Happy sailing and see you in Annapolis soon.
