[Rhodes22-list] Chris G. Pacific All Sail Boat Show

[Geankoplis]

Barry & Joyce,

What an outstanding vacation! Did I understand you sailed the Bay area for 6
weeks?  What a cool time!  You must tell us all about your adventures.  No,
I never got to the show things were just too busy here.  Next year for sure.
I think Al-Quaida slipped something in the water that the 8th graders drink,
they have been nutso, but three more weeks and I'm outta here and headed to
Naples for a week then over to Greece to fix up and sail my son's 22 footer
around the Ionian and Adriatic.  My wife will meet me half way through the
trip.  I'll be thinking on your boat on the cool waters of Tahoe as I float
around in the hot sun waiting for the wind.

Chris G

  Hi Chris, and all Rhodies. Wife Joyce and I did make it to the boat show
at Jack London Square. One thing I was hoping for was to meet Chris. Did you
make it to the show Chris? My phone never rang so I  guess you did not make
it or you misplaced  my number. 
  Since the end of the show we sailed SF bay. from Redwood city to
Sacramento. We love the sf bay delta and spent several days there sailing
and meeting some great folks who invited us to crew on their boats. One was
a Westsail 32. And we helped a man move his boat ( 52' Garden ketch) from
Stocton to Alameda. What a great time we had. The garden weighed 21 tons and
took a lot of sail to get it to sail, but it was a very nice boat and would
go 4 to 6 mph.  I am not to sure about the Westsail and the owner of the
westsail was not too sure about the r-22. Takes all kinds I guess.  
   All together we were gone over five weeks. 22 feet can get a little small
in that amount of time, but sometimes it is fun to see how much we can do
with our small boat.
