Hello all. I made the (long, drawn out) decision to purchase a recycled Rhodes 22 recently and will be taking delivery of an '87 model in April.

The sv Emma B will call Athens, GA her home port (can it be called a port with no body of water?), but will trailer with me to many of the epic areas I travel to for work.

I'm pretty excited about this next chapter of my life. I have to give a lot of credit for this decision to Stan (of course) who has patiently answered about 1 million emails about his boats for me, and to Peter Nyberg. His well thought out and edited series of videos have been a big inspiration to me a potential solo sailor. Like Peter, I come from an avid outdoor recreation background. I do wish I had his woodworking skills though!!

This is my first sail boat, and I anticipate making lots of newbie errors as I learn the lines. The Emma B will be traveling with me to WI for the summer and I plan to take a sailing course there to help limit those "oh, crap" moments.

Looking forward to meeting some of you along the way!
