[Rhodes22-list] no sailing for awhile

Jerry,

I used to sail Charles Mill often in my Javelin.  The boat club there 
sponsored races about once a month.  Its a bit tight for an R22, especially with the 
submerged tree stumps.

Where do you normally sail?  I find Lake Erie is a better fit for the R22.
