Ray, I fixed your link. You had a link to what looks like your email box.
I would love to go to that show. I need a reason to travel there.

It's the largest in water sailboat show; is that not reason enough

We're staying overnight at a Hampton inn in Bowie Md. About a half hour away. Much more reasonable rates than at Annapolis. Parking for the show is at the Naval Academy; $20 for the day, and a free shuttle to and from the show.
I have a list of wants for our Chesapeake cruise next year.

Airfare is over $600. That's halfway to an autopilot.

Completely understand. It would be nice to meet with some members. Several years ago we met up with Steve & Brandy of The Sailing Rode.

My wife and I are going. We live close by on Kent Island. Haven’t decided if we’re going to sail over and sleep on the boat at one of the Marinas in Eastport or just drive over.

Rob,
I have been trying to send you PM's, but I don't know if you have received them
We changed our dates to match yours, so meeting should not be a problem. Let me know.

We usually don’t go two years in a row, but stranger things have happened.AmandaRuth wrote: ↑Mon Jan 09, 2023 11:58 am I go every year with some friends - so please reach out if you plan to go in 2023!
We do plan (if all goes well) to do a 10 or 12 day cruise of the Chesapeake in June; are you anywhere close to Chesapeake Beach, Maryland, that’s one of the places we may visit on the western shore.
