Lou,
I love the big winds. I usually try to get some additional crew for rail  
meat and I also need a bar wench to make drinks. 15 to 20 is really sporting 
in  a Rhodes.

Today was one of my few days off this month and I was hoping to  do some
sailing.
Winds were forecast to pick up in the late  afternoon  but the humidity
exploded into
severe T storms by 2pm in  Bklyn.  Actually they were westbound and missed
Rockaway Inlet but  
I turned Miracles around at Noon when I saw whitecaps and a  building
southerly breeze, possible higher seas to Hurricane Bill  approaching the 
off
shore area tomorrow.

So how many of you Rhodes  owners either on lakes or bays sail  your boat
when winds are
near  or above 15knots?
just curious..
Lou

Ive finally attached a shot  of my modification to my "headlights" the front
portlights on my boat  were
installed by a prev owner and new and didnt leak but collected water  and I
decided to cover them with acrylic covers hinged with white oak  and
varnished with  Epiphanes.
