[Rhodes22-list] Boatless

[Ric Stott]

Peter 
Thank you being such a great Rhodie. The  Passion and whit in the Rhodes community as well as compassion and knowledge you so unselfishly provided is so valuable now and for all the theories to follow. I still keep Dadventure, my ’86 on a morning on Shinnecock Bay, no club, no launch, just my stand up paddle board for a tender. It’s cheap, but I’m getting old and handling the paddle board from the garden to the car top, and then from the car to the beach, is getting old too. 
Next season, I might have to break down and rent dock space. 
Age catches up with all of us and I’m glad to hear that health was not a contributing factor to your decision. 
Best to you in your new interests and - 
Thank you
