[Rhodes22-list] Cockpit Under Water

Rummy they were on the rail, all except for the little ones, they were
below.  Also rounded up quite a bit.  I'm actually new to the boat, and now
know I quit before she does.  Didn't want to scare them more than I was.
Gotta respect mother nature.

Joe,
With that much ballast on board, I'm surprised and disappointed that you
furled the sails at all. Put them up on the rail next time, leave the sails
out and pull the sheets tight and have the ride of a lifetime. 

Rummy
