I'll be there for one day, Bob. Place I work (Torresen Marine) has a booth there, but I'm going as a civilian. Not sure what day yet, probably one of the weekdays since it'll be easier to get around.

See you there?

I'm not positively locked in yet but my plan is Friday thru Sunday. I'd stay at the Sheraton a few blocks walk away.

wish I could go but no time no money and can't buy anything I would only torture myself.

I'm with ya Lyle. I can't even afford to tip my hat right now. If I go it'll be to take pictures and notes only. I missed last year and really need my boat show fix. Texas does NOT have good boat shows. No sailboats in Dallas shows anymore . . . very few in Houston. No sailboat "Stuff". The SS Chicago is heaven for me.

the only ones I know of for sailing are west coast, Chicago, Annapolis, and Miami.

Capt. Bondo I hope you recover quickly so you don't miss any sailing time bad enough to miss the shows. Our prayers are with you and 87 days till my launch but who's counting (I am).

Had a good time at the show this past Friday. Got the pleasure of meeting a good friend for the first time at the show--Bob T. AKA "retclt". Nice meeting you, face-to-face Bob!

You too Mark. Hope to see you again soon!

I attended the seminar on fiberglass repair and epoxy today. Now I'm ready to take on that keel trunk leak. Chicago has a rally nice show . . . I really learn a lot up here.
