[Rhodes22-list] Edenton visit

[sail tds.net]

Bill,

I belong to a club in Gulfport and have both a dry slip and a wet slip.  The
Rhodes goes on the hard in threatening weather such as hurrican warnings.
While I am in NH I will also use the dry slip with the mast down and all
four corners well secured.  Contact me off line if you wish and we can
discuss the possible way to find you a place while you are down here.

As far as the route I took:  I let Mr. Garmin direct me on my vehicles GPS.
About 780 miles from General Boat to my place in Seminole.  Approximately 13
hours towing time.  The roads are good except for a stretch in S. Carolina
on 95.  The left lane comes in handy during this stretch. Also, if you are
at the junction of 301 and 10 during rush hour times continue on 10 to 75
and avoid the hypotenuse.  The extra miles are worth it.
