Mary Lou:

Thank you for the link to Roger's account.  I enjoyed reading his story.  I
agree with Al that the Rhodes 22 is probably better suited for Lake
Charlevoix rather than the extreme weather that can be encountered on Lake
Michigan.  

I notice that Roger notes the bildge had about 5 gallons of water mostly
from his neglect to close the vent on his fresh water tank.  Is this a
common practice, to close the fresh water vent?  I think my holding tank and
fresh water tank both vent to the outside so this shouldn't be a problem? 
Maybe Roger has a different set up?
