[Rhodes22-list] Praise Jesus, the Republicans are going to save us from the Republicans

[Ben Cittadino]

Stan;
Please tell Rose that I love her too.  Why, I'll never forget the beautiful
evening we spent.....Oh but you probably don't want to hear all about that. 
The boat sails great.  I've been out about a half-dozen times since she was
delivered and I have arranged for some lessons from Jay Friedland.  I get
lots of compliments.  Nobody believes she isn't new.  I called a guy about
winter storage the other day, and when he asked me what kind of boat and I
said Rhodes 22, he said, "Oh, a real sailor", and I think he meant it. 
Thanks for a wonderful product.  I think it will extend my life (if I don't
get run over by one of the big ships in Raritan Bay).

best wishes,

Ben C., s/v Susan Kay, Highlands, NJ
