[Rhodes22-list] New Rhodie plus everyone

[Ken Wise]

cj, I joined the rhodes group in 2001 when I picked up a recycled boat. I found the rhodes to be a very forgiving sailboat which can handle almost anything on L. Michigan. Beyond that, the rhodies as a group are exceptionately nice and willing to share their knowledge with anyone who asks for help. Unfortunately I have developed ALS and am not able to stand without assistance so I am selling Awaken to a friend. I will try to monitor the list to see what is going on and perhaps add my remarks where appropriate. Fair Winds Ken

Hi folks,<br>  I thought I would introduce myself,before I start asking all the questions.I'm Jerry Lowe,I  live in the country close to Wooster, Ohio, with my wife Carol,and sea dog, Duke (Dalmatian).We also have a golden mix,she is very smart,she won't ride in the car ,let alone get on the boat with me.We became the proud owners of a 1986 R-22 about 3 weeks ago.We put her in Charles Mill lake near Mansfield ,Ohio.A great lake to learn on,9.9 hp limit,mostly pontoon/houseboats, very nice and courteous people , even on the 4th of July it's not very crowded.There is a sailing club on the far end of the lake,but I think they are mostly racing type people,only 1 cruiser moored there,the rest are dry stored,one design racers.<br>I moved up from a com-pac 16(hi Mary Lou) which was nice,but I just love the Rhodes.All boats should have IMF&furling jib,even with my limited experience,when the winds pick up,I can trim the canvas down to get back to my safety zone.<br>The sun is starti
 ng to peep out and the wind is picking up,it's time to head for the lake.<br>                                                      fair winds,<br>                                                        Jerry<br>__________________________________________________<br>Use Rhodes22-list at rhodes22.org, Help? www.rhodes22.org/list<br>
