Anyone plan to attend the show?

The admiral & I plan to be there on Saturday.
We'll be wearing the "Y.B.NORMAL" shirts.
It'd be great meeting and discussing our boats and trips.

If you haven't attended the seminar on the North Channel, it's worth attending. We cruised the NC with the Trailer Sailors' Association
last July - It was great!

Great show!
My favorite was the Beneteau Oceanis 37
Too bad there was no MacGregor presence.

We were there Friday and Saturday. Attended 8 seminars and I agree, that seminar on the sailing the North Channel has us drooling... A couple others were of interest to us since the Great Lakes are in our back yard. There was one on sailing the east coast of Lake Michigan that is now on our must-do list. The other was sailing the south coast of Lake Superior. Since we are going to be spending 2 weeks this summer in the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior, that was of great interest to us. After the seminar we were talking to the instructor about sailing Lake Superior. He recommended a good book that we will be buying that lists all the marinas, anchorages, gps coordinates, places to see, restaurants to visit, customs information, etc. If anyone is interested in the book, let me know and I will look it up for you...
