Rex,

Are you on Lake Michigan? If so, I would love to see your boat when it
arrives.

Thanks,

      No I'm in western mid-central Indiana but plan to head to Lake Michigan from time to time.    Maybe we could coordinate something at that time.

Tom,

  I will be in Monroe Harbor when I sail up from Michigan City next
weekend.  Send me a note if you would like to come up to take a look.

Rex,

Whereabouts do you sail in IN?  I'm working quite a lot in Ft. Wayne lately
and haven't gone sailing here but I did tow
my fishing boat down here this time and I've had a great time motoring
around on the three rivers here in FW.  I
drove up and looked at Lake Wawasee (sp?) and thought it looked like a fine
place to sail--I might bring the Rhodes
down one of these times.

      Besides Michigan, some smaller lakes in central and southern portions (Freeman near Monticello, Eagle Creek at the edge of Indianapolis, and Monroe south near Bloomington).  Never sailed Wawasee but been there and agree it looks neat.  Another in that area I've never visited but heard lays well after a high pressure moves through the Great Lakes (NW winds) is Mississinewa which is near Peru -- not too far south of Ft Wayne.

Slim,
 
I grew up racing on Lightnings on Lake Wawasee. It's a great lake to sail  on
except for the seaweed! I still go there for two weeks every summer.

Hey Carol,
                I knew there was some Lightning lurkers out there.  I too
learned to sail on a lightning.  It was a bit past its prime, wooden hull
with a complete irrigation system.  Gee they were fun boats to sail.  Mine
was an Italian built mahogany beauty 1949 vintage.  I finally decided one
year to sai it from Naples, Italy to Turkey.  Needless it isn't a blue water
ship and it did take a couple of summers but what joy it brought.  Thanks
for sparking the memories.

Carol,
     It is good to see that you are still here after your shocking experience.  And we know it is not your experience with Lightnings...

Ed,
 
Yes...that mystery has not yet been solved. I haven't been to the sailing  
lately with lightning around to know if it still occurs. Nor did I ever figure  
out what was happening. I will let you know if it happens again!
 
I've been on the list all along...as a lurker for the most part...but I'll  
chime in if I have something to add. After all, Colorado is a bit lonely when
it  comes to the Rhodes 22.

Hi Carol--

I'm curious where you sail? Our son lives just outside of Boulder and
we're going to try to get out there this summer and I'm wondering if
there are any places to rent sailboats? Last year we went up to
Dillion lake with the hope of renting, but we didn't have
reservations and there was nothing available. Probably just as well
since it was rather windy that day and no doubt it would have put my
sailing skills to a test.

Gregg,
 
I sail on Chatfield Reservoir which is in Littleton, CO (South Denver). I  
think there are small sailboats to rent on Boulder Reservoir but that's the only
 place I know of. I'd be happy to take you sailing if I'm around when you're  
here!
 
Carol

Subject:  Sailing on the front range near Denver, Colarado.

I helped Carol rig her boat at Chatfield State Park.  According to my son, a resident of Arvada, CO, that is the bigest lake near Denver.  You can locate it south of I-470 between CO121 and U. S. 85 on a map.

I was on a very limited schedule and had to leave before she launched.  I did not walk the marina.  There were a number of sailboats there.  While we were rigging her boat, a fellow was rigging what appeared to be a Precision 18.  Lots of cat boats.  Not enough water to sail a boat much bigger than a R22, although some of the boats at the marina may have been up to 30 foot, I did not see a boat lift.

Lots of wind.  Snow on Tuesday.  Rivers too shallow to even use anything more than a kayak or canoe.

If you are out visiting your son, contact Carol off list, promise lots of beer... the kind brewed in Boulder...
