Chris,
The previous owners of John's boat ( and Art's) lived on that particular 79  
model R22 for nine months, through the winter tied to a dock in SC.  They 
claimed to be very comfortable and then they bought and moved into a Hunter  37, 
which they still live aboard to this day. I guess it takes a particular mind  
set and stamina. I need a little bit more room to move around on  apparently.
After spending twenty years of her life tied to a dock at Portman Marina in  
SC, RumRunner is moving to our new home, about ten miles down the lake. This  
will not be her permanent home as a new dock is on order, but it will be nice 
to  have her at our own dock for a change. Can't wait to see the mast sticking 
up  above the trees.
Winter is rearing it's ugly head tonight. We will hit a low of 28 by  
morning. Hopefully this will be our last cold spell. Temps are supposed to warm  
through next week. Spring can't be far behind.

Sir Stanley, where's the new motor lift?????????? In case anyone missed it,  
Stan has a new electric motor life he's using me as the guinea pig to try out. 
 Further reports forthcoming.

Rummy

I have  spent a fair amount of time ranging from 6 weeks to 3 months  "living
aboard" on the Rhodes as my only shelter and liveing space.   Most recently
in Mexico and previously in the Bahamas.  I also grew up  living aboard a
much larger boat in the Med.  The Rhodes is too darn'd  small. It is fine for
a couple of weks or even a few months but only if you  are really traveling
around and having fun, at a marina it would be a  drag.
