[Rhodes22-list] Leaving the dock under sail

[John Tonjes]

Ed,
Those two list members were trying to get home before the sun set. We
motored out until we were able to go downwind, wing on wing.....all the way
home. We even had enough free time to finish a wonderful bottle of rum.
Let's see if I got this right.....we were out sailing, and you were sitting
on the dock. Which is more fun?

Rummy.......some people just gotta have fun. :)
