[Rhodes22-list] Dry Tortugas and Biscayne Bay

[Bob and Kathy Quinn]

Welcome back Bahama Bill!  Look forward to reading of your trip to the Dry 
Tortugas.  You may recall there were two R22 owners who sailed out from the west 
coast of Florida:  one from Naples, and the other from Ft. Myers if I recall 
properly.  


We love sailing in Biscayne Bay.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] I'm Back

After a long break from Da List, I am back and hope to be able to monitor it 
once again.  By way of reintroduction, my name is Bill Wickman, also known on 
the list a few years ago as " Bahama Bill" after I sailed my Rhodes22 to the 
Bahamas with my son and his friend.  I posted my trip log which may still be in 
the archives if you are interested in reading.  My experience with the Rhode22 
goes back to 2004 when I bought a 2000 model and have since pushed it to its 
limits (according to Stan) and had Stan repair and upgrade/refurbish a couple of 
times since.  I guess I most like to use the boat for adventure trips, but 
sailing the lakes of TN is also fun.  Haven't raced it yet but may just do that 
in the next year.

My home port is Knoxville, TN, but I have trailered the boat around the 
Southeast, mostly to Florida.  My most recent trip was in May when I pulled it 
all the way down to Key West.  Picked my daughter up from Univ. of Miami, and 
she, my son and I sailed out to the Dry Tortugas.  I am still trying to write up 
my trip notes and will put it on the listserve if anyone is interested.

I recognize some of you all from my former years (Rummy for one; how could 
anyone forget).   Whatever happened to the likes of Slim, Bill Effros, Tootle, 
Roger, etc.?

Man I love this boat!!!

Bahama Bill
