Geoff,
As a youth I spent many a summer on Green Lake. Great sailing lake with  
deep clear water. I grew up in Fond du Lac.
I use Captain Morgan to clean my bilge. Try some Mount Gay and you will  
drop the vodka.

Thanks  to all of you for the warm welcome. I have a place in Gulf Shores, 
AL
so I  will initially be sailing in Mobile Bay until I get enough experience
and  courage to venture out some. I am a new sailor. Just took lessons about
3  weeks ago. Rob: I'm a vodka man but I always have some Captain  Morgan
around for friends.

I'm interested in the Rhodes (and a  couple of other makes) because of the
wonderful reviews it gets online.  I've done a lot of research. My head is
spinning. Also, I was very  impressed with General Boat's site. The content
seemed to "come from the  heart" and therefore gave me confidence in the
builder as well as the  product.

My primary residence is in central WI so I'm trying to decide  if I want to
trail the boat (I eventually buy) to WI or if I want to just  leave it in
Gulf Shores. If I trail it back to WI I could launch it in  Green Lake which
is only about an hour from me.

I will be single  handling most of the time as my wife has some 
trepidations.
But, I hope to  ease her into it. Hey, I convinced her to marry me so 
getting
her aboard  shouldn't be anywhere near as hard.

Thanks again,  Geoff
