Going to the boat show

We are just off to the Boat Show here in St Petersburg. Hopefully we don't spend too much but more importantly we can't fit anything else on Moosetracks so I wonder if they sell more WATERLINE!

The Boat show update...

We talked at length to Bob and Norma Morris at the authors corner, we have a lot to be grateful for in meeting Bob and Norma several years ago on their IP44. They were a great inspiration and helped us tremendously in our preparations. Bob was having a great day and sold out of his book! http://boatnuts.net/

We also spent time chatting to Dee Dubin who has helped us so much since they returned to St Petersburg after their circumnavigation. Rob was busy getting Ventana their IP40 ready for sale so we'll catch him tomorrow. http://www.sailingvideos.com/

We sat on a wonderful IP460 and chatted with Bob Johnson and Bill Bolin of Island Packet. Thanks for making such wonderful boats. Bob thinks he makes them too strong as they all survived Hurricane Sandy and found safe places to rest afterwards ;-) www.ipy.com

One of favorite artists was at the show, Liz has almost all Eric Stone's albums. We partied the night away with friends and enjoyed the free beer and pizza courtesy of Cruising Outpost - thanks to Bob Bitchin !

Time is getting short now but we know after Thanksgiving that the boat is ready, just need to finalize some land based commitments and we're off.
