[Rhodes22-list] Slim's incident... Addenda

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Slim,

The suggestion from Stan was a port, not a port light, and I'm sure this just a typo by Ed.  Luis had a mast drop last year, and was able to repair the three screw holes without difficulty.  I'm really sorry about the mishap.  Still waiting for your next trip to the Bay.
