[Rhodes22-list] PITA et al. S(supplemental)

Mon Aug 6 19:30:29 EDT 2012

Hi Stephen:

Thanks for the story.  Misery enjoys company. I don't think they'll total my boat, just needs to dry out and have the electrical and wiring checked.  My mast survived (port spreader is a little bent). The marina guy has a plan to clean out the cabin and the sails and clean out the IMF mechanism.  He will make sure my bilge pump is installed properly.  Then, I will get some of the weight out of the laz and get her back in the water to see how things go.   

Joe
