We have our boat on the Delaware, 30 miles north of Philadelphia. Hope to finally make it to the Chesapeake this year. Not sure if we will tow it down or take the C&D.
I tore a meniscus badly 5 weeks ago, so I have appreciated the discussion about getting on and off the Rhodes. We have a canoe with outrigger stabilizers, thinking that the stability will help with the failing knees, but perhaps our trusty 1970's vintage Avon may be easier.
Roger, I enjoyed your presentations at Canoecopia. I hope your plans work out for you this season.

Getting in and out of our Walker Bay RIB from the side or the stern of our Rhodes 22 is not a problem. But, I don?t envision being able to get in or out of my Delta 145 Expedition kayak from the Rhodes 22 when the kayak is tied off to the mother ship. I suppose if it came right down it, we could use the RIB instead of the kayaks. Four of us, one canoe paddle in each corner, could paddle the RIB into most of the sea caves. But, I don?t want to ask the rest of my family to downgrade from the kayaks unless we have to. Right now, the plan is to dock the Rhodes 22, take the kayak fleet to the beach, separate the kayaks, and launch the kayaks off the beach. Fortunately, there are NPS docks within a few miles of each of the sea cave areas we intend to visit. This is kind of an ugly workaround and I?m not entirely satisfied with it. It would be great if there was some way to anchor S/V Dynamic Equilibrium just offshore from the sea caves and be able to get in and out of the kayaks from the mother ship. But, when the mother ship is a Rhodes 22, I don?t see a practical way to do that. Implementing the current plan means I must be fit enough to get on/off the beach and paddle ~4 nm by myself on Lake Superior in pretty calm conditions. We can?t paddle into the sea caves unless conditions are calm anyway. One of the rules of our family High Adventure Trips is, ?It?s not a High Adventure Trip unless there is some chance of serious injury or death!? Part of the fun is in the planning how to reduce the danger to the level of an acceptable calculated risk and accept that challenge. I wish the weather would warm up so I can get out on the water to get some paddling exercise in. Right now, I?m logging a few miles on my stationary bike. I?ve been out once on my real bike; but, only for a couple of miles on easy terrain. It?s hard when you?re trying to recover from electrical burns and scar tissue inside the heart. How do you rehab that kind of injury? I did have my cardiologist reprogram my pacemaker to enable a cardiac redline of 180 bpm vs the factory setting of 100 bpm. She wouldn?t set my cardiac redline any higher. I promised my family I wouldn?t attempt this High Adventure Trip unless she gave her blessing. So, I have a lot of work to do!

Roger, As I have aged, my ability to enter and exit my Pamlico 145T from my Rhodes 22 has become more challenging. Dinghy transfers are not a problem but the kayak has proven too unstable to access from the side of the Rhodes or even the swim ladder. Maybe if I had a swim platform it would be easier. Do you have any tips?

Hi All, So, here we are on Palm Sunday, 2021. What are everyone's plans for a summer cruise? My plan for a Great Circle Loop High Adventure Sailing/Sea Kayaking Tour Of Apostle Islands National Lakeshore continues to move forward. Last week, I was able to reserve a special campsite at Little Sand Bay Campground on the tip of the Bayfield Peninsula for the beginning put-in and ending take-out. After consultation with the campground manager, it turns out campsite #40 has an unused grassy area next to the campsite where we can park S/V Dynamic Equilibrium fully rigged on its trailer. Not only can we use the boat as a pop top camper; but, site #40 has unobstructed access to/from the launch ramp. So, we don't have to rig/unrig the boat at the launch ramp. Little Sand Bay Campground will also let us park 2 vehicles + the empty boat trailer in their parking lot while we're out on the water. The National Park Service only reserves backcountry campsites out in the Apostle Islands 1 month in advance. I will have to set my alarm clock early on June 22-24, 2021 to make sure I get on-line and reserve the campsites I want. I have the design for the kayak towing harness finished and I've started accumulating pieces/parts. After doing some research and modeling, I think a towing harness that lines the 4 boats up side-by-side will tow the best, be the most seaworthy configuration, and the easiest to deal with around the marina and on the beach. But, I plan to do some tow testing with S/V Dynamic Equilibrium in late May or early June in Ross Lake, about 12 miles from my house. I have finished the 4 cockpit covers with their around the hull retaining straps and verified fit/security on each of the kayaks. Losing a cockpit cover and filling the cockpit with water on Lake Superior might be the start of a bad day on the water! But, my biggest potential show stopper issue is me. As many of you know, I am 67 years old with A-Fib and 2 arthritic knees. I have a pacemaker and last month, I had my 2nd Cardiac Ablation procedure. For those of you not familiar with a Cardiac Ablation, it involves making an incision in your groin, snaking a catheter-like probe up the big vein in your leg back into the heart, and then selectively electrocuting the biological pacemaker cells that are causing the A-Fib. It stops the A-Fib; but, you are left with electrical burns and scar tissue inside the heart. 6 weeks after the Cardiac Ablation procedure, I still tire easily and have very poor aerobic stamina. I have a lot of rehab work to do in order to be ready for the High Adventure Trip in July. So, what cruise trips are everyone else planning?

It just needs to extend deep enough in the water so that you can put one foot on the bottom rung at least a foot below the water and then swing the other leg into the kayak - sit down and then bring the other leg in. I think I made a video on it a while back, I'll have to look and see. The other option is a seal launch. I did this seal launch video a long time ago. https://youtu.be/Em5bbFNsy6Y?t=50 Good luck! By the way, just kidding about the seal launch from the Rhodes - would scratch the boat too much. Mitch On Sun, Mar 28, 2021 at 11:26 AM Michael D.

My immediate nautical plans involve paddling rather than sailing. In mid-April I will be joining some friends for an extended weekend of swamp canoeing on the Black River in North Carolina, including a visit to the Three Sisters Swamp, which is part of that river. The Three Sisters section includes the oldest trees in the Eastern U.S., bald cypresses that have been dated back to at least 605 B.C.E., the time of the Babylonian empire. Our group has been exploring various blackwater rivers in the Carolinas since 1980, although we?ve also made forays into the Quetico Provincial Park in Canada, the Okefenokee Swamp in south Georgia, and even a river in Sweden (sadly, I missed that trip). We?re mostly in our mid-seventies now, and for the last few trips we?ve elected to establish a fixed base camp in a nearby state park or some private property (with permission) and make day trips, rather than hauling all our gear in our canoes and looking in the afternoon for dry ground, as we?ve mostly done in the past. The variety of ailments that afflict many men of our age have made unburdened canoes the better choice. But I am looking forward to getting my Rhodes back in the water at Lake Keowee, once new sails are installed in a couple of weeks.

We put-in on the Kickapoo River at the Plum Creek Canoe Landing, paddled to the Wisconsin River, and then followed the Wisconsin River to the Mississippi River. Along the way, we backcountry camped on sandbars. We took-out at Wyalusing Recreation Area Boat Landing on the Mississippi River. On the last day of the trip, we attempted to find our way thru the Wood Yard Slough, a backwater swampy area off the Mississippi River. Despite having the latest chart issued by Wyalusing State Park and the highest resolution Garmin GPS maps available, we got thoroughly turned around and eventually ended up leaving at the same place as we entered the slough. Exploring a backwater Mississippi River slough by canoe had always been on my bucket list. After this experience, I can say I?m glad I went once. But, I got it out my system! I?ve made multiple paddling trips into the Boundary Waters and Voyageur?s National Park, both of which border Quetico Provincial Park. The international border is poorly marked (if at all!) up there and I?m certain we briefly crossed over into Quetico a couple of times. Did you know there?s a place called Kettle Falls in Voyageur?s National Park where you can stand in the United States and look south into Canada?

This is how I first became aware of the Penobscot Bay area as a prime cruising location. ?Peter > On Mar 29, 2021, at 10:10 AM, Hank <hnw555 at gmail.com> wrote: > > We'll be up there in July for a 6 day trip on the JE Riggin. > Looking forward to seeing that part of the country. > > Hank > > On Mon, Mar 29, 2021 at 9:48 AM Peter Nyberg <peter at sunnybeeches.com> wrote: > >> My cruising plan for this year is for week-long excursions on the coast of >> Maine launching from the public ramp in Rockland. >> >> There will be video. >> >> ?Peter ------------------------------ Message: 18 Date: Mon, 29 Mar 2021 08:35:16 -0700 (MST) From: Lee <lvjkuhn at gmail.com> To: rhodes22-list at rhodes22.org Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] Summer 2021 Cruise Plans? Message-ID: <1617032116809-0.post at n5.nabble.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Chris, Milford? That's where I learned how to sail back in the mid-70s! Wow I'm old. A friend took me out on a Sunfish. A few days later I went out by myself so I would be confident in taking a girl along with me. Winds were extremely high for a Rhodes so you can imagine a novice on a Sunfish. Fortunately my friend showed me how to right the thing and after about a dozen capsizes I got pretty good at it. Never did take a girl out on it. I believe I saw that your son teaches at my alma mater. Tuttle Creek Lake also has some great sailing but an extremely rough road to get to the "club." http://https://beaconmarineboats.com/boating-in-kansas/ <http://https://beaconmarineboats.com/boating-in-kansas/> Lee 1999 Rhodes22 TBD Claytor Lake, VA -- Sent from: http://rhodes-22.1065344.n5.nabble.com/ ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ Rhodes22-list mailing list Rhodes22-list at rhodes22.org http://rhodes22.org/mailman/listinfo/rhodes22-list ------------------------------ End of Rhodes22-list Digest, Vol 4325, Issue 1 **********************************************
