[Rhodes22-list] Cowie - Single Handing the Chesapeake

[Tootle]

Cowie:

This forum has been around a long time.  One of the founding members, about
Stan's age, sold his Rhodes 22 and dropped off the list.  For many years he
sailed the Chessie single handed in his R22.  We used to have a picture of
Lloyd doing so wearing his inflatable PDF.  May I suggest that you try to
contact Lloyd 
Crowther at:  lcrowther at cox.net and let just tell him what you are thinking
and listen to his stories.  Think of him as another Stan and there is no way
the rookies on this forum can match him...

Maybe Mary Lou has that picture?
