[Rhodes22-list] Sunday sail

[Mary Lou Troy]

We do the Narrows easily with our 8hp outboard. My guess is you could 
even do it with a 6 but you might be gunning it. We've done it a 
couple of times at slack tide but otherwise it's always interesting.

Alice must have gotten the motor mount fixed. Good!
