[Rhodes22-list] R22 in Deltaville, VA

Hi Mary Lou,

I read your post with great interest because Deb & I may be in a similar situation soon because of her diabetes and my arthritic knees and cardiac issues.  I have been thinking in terms of a trailerable single engine trawler style boat with an enclosed helm station.  We would still like to be able to cruise; but, we’re not ready to commit to “the big boat” yet.  A lot will depend on when/if they restore Sanford Lake from last year’s dam failures and flooding.  We spent ~K$19 to repair our seawalls, steps, beach, and stabilize our shoreline against erosion last year.  If they restore the lake, we will need to spend a similar amount to restore our dock to preflood condition.  We will have plenty of notice to replace the dock if they decide the dam project is a go.  This will be the 1st time I’ve ever built a dock on dry land!

Hi Mike,
  We are very happy with Tara except on the days when conditions are
perfect for sailing.

As you probably know, we did a lot of cruising on Fretless from
overnights to 2 week cruises. As we got older we found we were going out
less and less when conditions were less that ideal and agility issues
made us less confident about sailing the boat. When we decided to sell
Fretless we thought we would be replacing her with a small runabout just
to get us out on the water but just couldn't get excited about anything.
It wasn't until we stepped aboard the Rosborough that we knew our next
step. It was her similarity to the Rhodes in terms of simplicity, size,
closeness to the water and the sturdy good seakeeping design that led us
onward. Not to mention the air conditioning at the dock in 90 degree
weather and the windshield wipers and enclosed helm in the rain.

On the other hand, while Tara has her own Facebook page updated
sporadically, the boat photos on our walls at home are Fretless and the
memories are very sweet and seeing Respite here in Deltaville, truly
made me smile.

>> Don't know who owns the boat, but glad to finally see the new R22 burgee in person. Looks great as does the boat in her slip at Fishing Bay Marina in Deltaville, VA. We are here for a couple of nights with a group of cruisers from the upper Bay. Even though we no longer have our Rhodes, it always does my heart good to see one in front of me.
