[Rhodes22-list] The Season Has Begun

[Caesar Paul]

Hi Rhodees,
I'm happy to report that the sailing season has begun for me.
I launched the boat on Friday, and had my first sail on Sunday, single handing 
all the way.
 It began to rain, then snowed while we were hauling Gentle Breeze to the 
marina. Winter is resisting her departure.
We rigged her in the rain.  My cheap rain coat kept me dry, and we had an event 
free launch.
On Sunday afternoon I had my first sail of the season in very light winds.  I 
did motored up the lake for about 40 minutes, turned around and sailed back for 
as long as the wind allowed.  Motored back to the slip and secured her, so the 
fun has begun.
Caesar
