[Rhodes22-list] New to the forum.

[Philip Gauthier]

	Hello everyone. Just read Mary Lou's account of the boat show. She's  
right, we have been remiss in joining the forum and meeting them put  
the match under our butt to get at it! To refreshen your memory Mary  
Lou, we are Danielle Desrosiers and Phil Gauthier from Montreal. As  
you mentioned we bought Raven from Peter Thorn a year ago and gave  
her a new home in Montreal. Everyone has been quite impressed with  
the amenities found in her and as a tribute to the Sandford's,  
Kaynor's, and Peter everyone is very impressed with her great shape  
and can't believe she's 20 years old. We managed to get out about a  
dozen times this summer and enjoyed every bit of it. I've attached a  
picture taken at her launch showing quite well. The main focus for  
our trip to the boat show was to upgrade her instruments (not that  
there was anything wrong with the present ones) so we will upgrade  
her to an NMEA2000 platform with a Lowrance HDS7 and the Garmin GWS10  
bundle for wind info. As well we have decided to give her a 12v  
fridge to keep the "refreshments" cold without the need for ice  
packs. Those should be installed over the winter. Weather is changing  
up here so we will likely pull her from the water in a couple weeks.  
So never fear, Raven is well and fine in her new home and again  
thanks to all who have helped keep her in such fine form.
