We start our sailing year about mid January in about a week or so. I used to work the Seattle boat show in Febuary and I got to work the show at Bell Harbor marina every day for 2 weeks. I here the in water part of Seattle's show is in Lake Union right in front of Hooters a good place to warm up your brain if you visit it. Were looking at catamarans and they don't put them in the buildings.

See you at the show then Bubba

Tho I probably wont be going into hooters. IF I could take the hunter down there for a couple of days and find lake moorage it would be great. but overnight moorage gets pretty tight on eastlake and westlake during the show.

Hey Bubba - you can have BOTH if you want to get to The Toronto International Boat Show this weekend. They flood an indoor coliseum larger than an NHL rink with a million gallons of water and play in/on it. Mostly power boats, but Dowsar Marine is always there with a Mac :macm: and other wares on display. Just bought my tickets! :D

I'm heading down today, for one LONG day. I usually begin at the lake site, then over to QWest. One of the first stops is to check in w/BWY, so may run into some of you there.

Regards,
Shane
