[Rhodes22-list] The Rhodes floats.

Joe,
Thank you. I don't believe I've heard my name and the word smart used in  
the same sentence before.

I don't know what kept the boat laid over, maybe the  mast in the mud.  The 
marina mechanics were baffled.  They had  righted sailboats before, and 
once the mast was clear, the boat righted.  With mine, they got the mast out of 
the mud, but the boat did not  cooperate.  Ah, what the hell! She's all 
cleaned up in my driveway  waiting for spring time.  I could drive myself crazy 
trying to figure out  the how and why.  I'm a retired cop, not a retired 
engineer.  My  time is better spent happily scooting along toward the 
Chesapeake bay.  I  leave the figuring-out to smart Rhodies like you.  Ahoy!

Joe
