[Bob Weber]

Dave, Congrats we all know the feeling of anticipation.  It will make this 
Christmas easy as pie for people who are giving you gifts.  I am in a small 
hurry but a quick search of ASA site showed a school that trains on lake 
pleasent contact him and see about rental or charter.

>Hello!

>I just wanted to introduce myself.  My name is David Dallas and I am from
>Calgary, Alberta Canada.  I used to dinghy sail years ago then stopped when
>my kids were born.  This past summer the sailing bug was biting yet again -
>this time my wife agreed that 'it was time' and we could look at a boat.
>Long story short, we went from looking at 14-16 foot dinghys to pocket
>cruisers (with the associated increase in cost!).  We both fell in love 
>with
>the looks, features and safety aspect of the Rhodes 22.  The passionate and
>devoted owners on this list, and General Boats 'in general' and Stan 'in
>particular' were also factors.  The only problem was seeing one, sailing
>one, then getting one to western Canada!  Stan was extremely helpful and
>through an amazing coincidence, there was a local owner who had recently
>purchased a Rhodes but was unable to sail it.  We were able to have a look
>this summer (though not a sail) and put a down payment on the boat.   I am
>now saving every cent I can in order to make the final payment next spring,
>when we will get to sail the boat.  I have been lurking on this forum for a
>couple of months, and have my rhodes binder with all the information from
>Stan's website to get me through the winter.  I hope to become more active
>on the 'list' as I get closer to owning my Rhodes.

>I am going to Arizona (Scotsdale) tomorrow for meetings and will be there
>throughout the weekend.  There seems to be a lovely lake, Lake Pleasant,
>about 45mins away.  I have Saturday afternoon, Oct 16th free and was hoping
>to get to sail (the season in Canada is a little shorter than the Southern
>US).  Could anyone provide me with information on boat rentals there?  
>There
>didn't seem to be any info on this on the website.  Or, if any of the list
>sails out of Lake Pleasant and wouldn't mind taking an eager and almost new
>sailor for an afternoon on their Rhodes, I will buy the lunch/beverages
>(your choice!).
