[Rhodes22-list] Reintroduction

[Ellner]

Welcome back, Mike!  We saw Ranger when we took Blew in to be 
'hospitalized' in Edenton after the storm she went through......Stan 
worked his magic on her.  We have her back & dang.....it's snowing in WI 
now, so she's in storage for the Winter!

>      By way of a reintroduction I am Mike Corley, a loyal Rhodes owner since
> 1996.  I have not been active on the list in several years.  It is
> definitely a lot quieter now than it used to be.  Sort of miss the barroom
> mentality of the old list.
>      I have owned two Rhodes, the first was a new 96 model I bought from
> Stan and then after returning from Europe Stan made me a great deal and I
> traded it in on a slightly used and upgraded 99 Rhodes in 2000, but that is
> another story.  I like to tell people that I liked the boat so much I bought
> it twice.  I still take the boat back to GB in Edenton, NC when it needs
> work which is infrequently.  Stan and GB is the most honest business I have
> ever dealt with and they still do good work!
>      I just recently retired from the Army after 30 years of service.  I
> retired from Fort Monroe, Va and now live in Smithfield, Va at the
> intersection of the Pagan and James Rivers. I keep my boat at the Old Point
> Comfort Marina at Ft Monroe in Hampton, Va which is about 22 miles from
> Smithfield.  My children are grown now so I primarily singlehand which is
> easy to do in a Rhodes.  I have enjoyed sailing the Southern Chesapeake for
> the last four years.  Previously I have sailed my Rhodes out of Middle River
> near Baltimore, Newbern, NC on the Neuse river, and Washington DC on the
> Potomac River.  As all of you will agree, the Rhodes is a great costal and
> inland pocket cruiser!
