Say Eric,
Modern science has determined the cause of your having so many  kids. You 
need to spend more time sailing (alone) and less time at home.....if  you get 
my drift.

Matt,

I think that you just bought the Rhodes that I was  going to try and look at
in the next couple of weeks!

Would you mind  a visit from someone who wants a rhodes?  I really like the
design in  theory, but have never set foot on one so I don't know if all the
theory  will work out well for me and my family.

I would love to get on the  boat with my family so I can see how we fit (we
have 4 kids, 6 1/2, 5, 2  1/2 and 1).

I am not expecting you to take us out for a sail or  anything (though I 
would
not refuse if you offered ;)).  I really just  want to see how we fit in the
space that is available.

We live near  Lake Champlain in northern VT.

Thanks,
Eric
