[Rhodes22-list] Rock Hall & Rhodes Rhendezvous

[Mark Kaynor]

Mary Lou,

We'd planned to be gone from 9-19 April for an offshore class at Chapman in
Stuart, FL. Unfortunately, we were unable to get air miles seats due to the
heavily booked  Easter weekend, and had to reschedule for May. So now we're
gone from  7 to 17 May. we've got a regatta on Sunday the 18th and would
have to pull the boat after that to be able to make the Rhendezvous the
following weekend. I'm game, but Julie's a bit reluctant, so we'll have to
see how it goes.

Mark
