[Rhodes22-list] Rob G. ...Info List

[Rob Granger]

Hi Michael W.

I had thought of doing that as my parting gift to you all but I  
thought I should wait until I complete my trip so I can add  
commentary.  I'm only going out for two nights so it will not suffice  
as a cruising guide but I hope it will make a start

To be honest I have a little fantasy starting to form where I spend 6  
weeks out on the sound taking detailed notes on gunkholes/anchorages,  
restaurants, public (or near public) showers, toilets and pumpout  
stations... crabbing tips (I'm Cajun so this I can do well), some  
tourist hot spots... put together a pocket guide...

THE GUNKHOLER'S GUIDE TO THE ALBEMARLE SOUND (?)

I love the NC outerbanks and I love sailing... so????

I'm a teacher and I have the time in the summers.... it would be a blast.

Even if it only made enough $ to cover the charter I'd say I'm way  
ahead of the game
