[Rhodes22-list] Early spring training

[Rik Sandberg]

Doug,

Yeah, we'll probably end up backing out too. We're almost down to the 
corner anyway.

Well, your spring break time frame would probably work for us. We can stay 
on the boat, so it doesn't make much difference when we show up, Tim will 
put the boat in whenever we ask and he's not too busy yet, then. We don't 
have a solid date set yet anyway. I haven't talked to Rod and Mary, or Glen 
and Dorene lately. I'll have to drop them a line. Talk it over with Robin, 
let me know what you come up with. You never know about Anne. She could be 
off to Belize or someplace. She gets around a bit in the winter. Lucky 
girl. But I bet she'll see this and let us know.

Rik
