[Rhodes22-list] R22 Labor Day weekend sailing photos from Lake Manawa

[Jesse Shumaker]

Roger, thanks for the resource references on sail trim.  I'm always open
to tips.  I feel like the more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't
know yet.  It's always good to have material to work through in the off
season to make next sailing season even better!
