[Rhodes22-list] Rhodes 4 Sale

[Luis Guzman]

Roger, 

I will not leave the list. I enjoy all the very informative posts from everyone on the list.

It seems that I have problems with both knees, and I already have metal hips. I think I need both knees done, but the MRI will tell.

I certainly will look for another Rhodes after this knee ordeal is over. Right now, I do not have the transportation to take the boat to Mexico, and I cannot afford to pay storage. So, that adds to the decision to sell it now. I do have a place where to keep it in Mexico, but the problem is getting it there. The border situation is very unstable and dangerous. Otherwise, I would drive there myself. I thought about doing it, but the general refuses to let me do that.

In fact, I’m going to have my left knee replaced on March, 21, 2022.  If all goes well, I should be good to go by mid May.  That includes sailing and I certainly don’t plan to sell my Rhodes 22.
