Hi, Nick and Andrew. Sorry for slow reply - was up in Vermont enjoying
a rare Thanksgiving ski trip. With the three of us buying this year,
there will be six of us in Greenwich that I know of. Sounds like a
photo op.
I believe there are slips to be had in Stamford and Norwalk. The
marinas on the Mianus River in Greenwich don't work out for sailboats
unless you want to wait for the railroad drawbridge to open for you.
Regards,
David Bradley

Hello Dave & Andrew
Looks like there will be the 3 of us with Rhodes22's in the area as I
have a new one on order, also for next spring.
Any ideas on marinas in the area with slips available or "dry sailing"?
I need to try & find one possibly from Greenwich up to Bridgeport.
Regards Nick Kuzniarski

Hope you make it.
