[Rhodes22-list] Re: Baltimore Harbor

[Robert Skinner]

While I trailered my boat from Oklahoma to Maryland 
when I bought it, and Maryland to Maine when I moved, 
trailering from Maine to Maryland for a weekend 
meetup doesn't sound like fun.  

But taking a train from Portland to the Baltimore 
area, hooking up with a Rhodes 22 owner, and sailing 
into the Inner Harbor on an R22 sounds like a hell of 
a good idea!
