JD,
Thanks for the introduction. We had a former member on the list that would  
harass people if they didn't do a proper introduction. We appreciate 
knowing the  people we are talking with.

Rummy tells me that newbie's usually introduce themselves  BEFORE they ask 
for
help (see IMF for old Rhodes) but I guess it's better  late than never (I
guess I took the warnings about keeping it short too  seriously).

I just bought a '73 from a great guy in Rocky Point, NY and  had it hauled
down to Philly - actually Essington - where I have it in a  slip on the
river.  I am an experienced sailer - raced J27s with  Liberty Sailing Club,
have my bareboat and have chartered often - but this  is my first boat to
own.  

I did some research before I bought  it and knew that the Rhodes22 was for
me.  My wife has NO interest in  sailing so I expect to be doing a lot of
single-handed sailing and may end  up taking it to the Jersey shore so I
wanted something with a shallow  draft.  Everything pointed to the Rhodes.

So that's my story - to  start.

Jim (sometimes known as JD)
