Thank you Ted I will check the archives.....Your Admiral might like to
know that the trip over is a delight....if you wait weather, which we always
did..made sure we had a nice weather window...no big seas and we left from
Miami and landed in Bimini....We always enjoyed our time in Miami, so were
in no hurry to rush until the weather was perrrrfect.....I cna't wait to go
read about the trip over in the Rhodes22....We personally think of all the
smaller boats, this boat seems perfect...Helen
