[Rhodes22-list] Outer Banks Sea Trials

[ed kroposki]

Bill:
	Congratulations, you are making a trip that I always want to.  I
have been to all the places that you mentioned, unfortunately not with a
sailboat.
	How many weeks are you planning to take on this trip?  There is no
way that you can do all that in less than four days, unless this is non
stop.
	I cannot remember who did it or if they are still around, but the
lower part of the trip has been done.  Are you familiar with the marinas,
ICW, the way out to Cape Lookout, the channel between the banks and
Atlantic?  I have been to the area several times, just last fall to
Beaufort.  
	I think that your sailing buddy in Tennessee, Wally is familiar with
the area.  Going to the Graveyard of the Atlantic.
	When are you going to do this?

I have experience in coastal cruising on charter boats over 40' in the San
Juan Islands and Florida Keys areas.  I live in Knoxville and sail on Ft.
Loudon Lake (part of the Tennessee River system).

Do you have any experience sailing in salt water?  How long have you had
the
boat?  Where do you regularly sail?
