[Rhodes22-list] Good things to have aboard your Rhodes22

[Stan Spitzer]

JUST A TEASER ANNOUNCEMENT (not to be opened until Xmas):

General Boats is working on a new propulsion system that, while 
expensive, (OK, very expensive) will be less than the related 
accumulated medical bills resulting from "you alls" currently employed 
motor systems.

Included is a reasonable amount of tools to deal with issues - and as there are not too many issues to deal with - the kit only includes what I have determined will get me through any crisis - check around your vessel and you will see that a couple of screw drivers, pliers, and a few well sized ratchet wrenches will get you through.   I also carry extra clivis pins, rings, tape, utility lines that can be improvised to deal with issues, etc.   Dock lines, fenders, and a boat hook are also standard stock.
