[Rhodes22-list] Rhodes in NJ

[Jay Friedland]

Frone,
I know you're out there. I wanted to get together at some point, on  
water or land to plan a 3-day trip south, either AC or Cape May.  
We've been going North to Toms River/Pt. Pleasant the last few years  
and need a change. Jody (my gf) & I are planning something for end of  
August and not sure if offshore or backbay is best, and also  
recommended marinas, stops, etc. I was thinking about Frawley Marina  
in AC, for convenience, but now considering a quiet spot, not a zoo.

Anytime you want to sail here, or sail with us, you're on. Our summer  
conditions are fairly consistent, thermals switch winds from West to  
South about 11AM. We always have wind, typically 15-18, but Rob & I  
look forward to small craft advisories to push the Rhodes. For my six- 
pack license, I need 40 more days offshore, plus experience in high  
surf coming in. So we're planning more ocean time. We've been talking  
about getting together over a few years, let's plan it.

Regards to Andy.
Jay
