[Rhodes22-list] Summer Begins...finally!

Tue Jun 10 01:10:43 EDT 2014

Hey Shawn,
	I'm glad to hear you are back in the cockpit after the stent, pretty
remarkable.  It is good at least one Oregon boat is sailing.  Mine is under
cover and won't be going out this year.  I envy your fun on the lake.  I'll
be in central Illinois helping out my brother-in-law with a startup company
for the entire summer so no time to sail, unless there is a Rhodie out there
near Champaign Illinois.  So enjoy Fernridge, I'll be sailing the corn and
soy fields instead.

Hi All:

I was late launching due to having become the proud possessor of a stent in
April. Have been sailing since mid-May 4-5 times a week at Fern Ridge in
winds of from 3 - 18 mph - Boat performs flawlessly under all conditions.
Have just ordered a traveler from Stan.

Happy Summer Everybody!!
