[Rhodes22-list] Wind Indicators

[Joseph Hadzima]

Hi Bill

Not that I wish to be a smart ass, but how do these differ
from the usual tell-tails people make out of yarn, or
plastic streamers?  I'd just like to know what $20.00 buys
me.   Do you have a link to a web site for these?


BTW, Nan have a great time with your new Rhodes ... we
spent some time on LIS this past Summer, and plan to go
back again.  You have a great place to sail.  you can check
out the sailnet.com LONGISLAND email group for some
interesting local news too.

happy Thanksgiving!
