[Rhodes22-list] Hello, for the fifth time

[KUHN, LELAND]

Peter,

Welcome to the list!  Based on your homes near George Mason and The New
College of Florida, I assume we have another poet in the group.  We
won't hold that against you--just don't expect much culture out of this
crew.

My boat is still on the hard but I'm optimistic I'll have her back in
the water within a week.  She just had a minor make-over so it will be a
good time to show her off.  Just give me a call at 202.476.5369 and we
can arrange a sail.

You'll definitely want to be up here for the Annapolis Boat Show.  It'll
give you an opportunity to meet a lot of owners and get their totally
nonbiased opinion about our boats.

Dear Rhodies,

This message will eventually explain itself, I hope.

I just figured out why none of my postings have gone out to the list: I
originally registered using a different email address. Since mail to
that address is forwarded to the address I'm now using, I didn't realize
there was a disconnect. It was making me paranoid. ("Help! The paranoids
are after me!")

So here was my 4th attempt to say hello:

Hello to everyone. I joined the list back in June and have enjoyed
listening to the conversation. I've also sent 3 messages which never
came back to me--via the list or via a "can't be delivered" message. 

Since I'm just a stowaway on the list--I don't yet have my own Rhodes--I
thought maybe I needed to go through some kind of initiation rite. The
weird thing is that I can't find those earlier in my Drafts or Sent
folders.

The most recent message was for those who've been comparing notes on
outboards: the latest issue of Practical Sailor has a review of the
updated 4hp and 6hp Yamaha's & it's overwhelming positive. (Vol.26 #8,
August 2010. WWW.practical-sailor.com)

In the 2nd attempt to join you, I was just piping up about SAILING
BIG.... I think I've read most of the books about trailerable pocket
cruisers now in print, and SAILING BIG is one of the most useful.
There's a new book I saw get favorable notice in SAILING or CRUISING
WORLD: THE SAILOR'S BOOK of SMALL CRUISING SAILBOATS. It's virtually an
encyclopedia & covers 360 boats under 26 feet. It's full of useful
specs, drawings, etc., though of course it can't be very specific about
any of the 360. But the author seems to have something against Stan's
boats, both the Picnic (he uses "supposedly" 3 times in the commentary)
and the Rhodes 22--so much so that it makes me distrust his other
commentaries. He implies Philip Rhodes didn't design the Rhodes-22.

I just looked: I saved my first attempt to reach you guys as a
WordPerfect doc, so I'll just paste that in here by way of one more
introduction. 

The original attempt, June 14:

"Frank, Lee, Dan & any other Rhodes22 folks in the DC area--

"I've just started reading the Rhodes22 List, and it's a great
recommendation for buying the boat. (Probably the best recommendation
after Stan himself.)

"I currently split my time between DC and Apollo Beach FL. I'll probably
buy a trailerable cruiser within the year, and I'm pretty sure it will
be a Rhodes22. But I'd feel like a damned fool doing so without ever
being aboard one, let alone sailing one. 
 
"If someone is looking for crew in the DC area this summer, or in the
Tampa Bay / Sarasota area after mid-September, I hope they'll get in
touch. (I'm in FL right now but will be back in DC by 6/20)

"Meanwhile, I'll keep learning from the list! Thanks to you all"

And I HAVE been learning, thanks to you all.

--Peter

Well, my excuse is that I've been travelling not sailing and then all 
of a sudden Eudora stopped being able to send email. My ISP swore it 
wasn't them so I've been fussing with antivirus and firewall only to 
discover that some info they gave me a month ago when I started get 
certificate errors was part of the problem. I think I may have solved 
it (for now - maybe)
