[Rhodes22-list] Boat Show Get Together

[S/V Lark]

Chris (and the rest of us General Boat lovers with computer skills but unable
to help Stan prep for the show)

I've never even been to Annapolis and don't have any concept for this show.  
At trade shows I've attended pamphlets get thrown away, but dreams sell.  
Can somebody create a quick picture montage of our photos on a single link?  
I'm not sure how recently the Sailing Enosis page was updated, and a full
blog takes time to create and read.   Just an album of photos, boat name and
basic locations and a one sentence comment (Sea of Cortes, Desolation Sound,
Kentucky Lake, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, Chesapeake Bay, Florida coast, etc
plus daysailing in puddles everywhere) would be inspirational.   There are a
few photos made public on the FB page from the Lark and others, and many of
us surely have recent photos in our personal collections to share.   
Enosis's journey alone is a testimony to what can be done with a pocket
cruiser.  

As income demographics shift the boats (per the show's webpage) appear to be
large yachts and a few smaller racing platforms.  Stan will be offering a
fairly unique product.  Bendytoy has sailing workshops on their First 22. 
There is a Ventura power sailor I'm not familiar with (Not Roger Macgregor
or Tattoo) and the race oriented Seascape 24.  Sage marine appears to be a
company with some energy, but their boats are truly micro-cruisers compared
to the 22.   

If I was in Stan's place I'd value a single link that could be emailed to
anybody that showed possible interest, since the General Boat's page is a
bit dated and the owner's group page is worse.    There are few small boats
being sold that have active users going places, and we've collectively shown
the Rhodes can be driven to great locations without spending weeks in
transit at 4 kts.   The link would probably have to be general purpose,
maybe linked to the Rhodes  22 Owner's page, if there are 'commercial
purpose' restrictions.
