I'll be there for the whole show. We should have a little TF meet and greet.

I live in Ft Laud so I'm sure I'll be there at least for 1 day.

I've had to do that WAAAAAY to many times, lol.
Prefer to just do a casual stroll and chat with my vendors and factory reps that I deal with during the work year.
It just won't be the same not being on Halloween weekend though, trying to work the show after some of the crew parties, lol.
Last years Poker Run was a blast, hope same for this year.

Yup!!
Oliver started early. He pinched my boat shoes at the Annapolis Show 6 years ago. He must have been hanging out near the Selenes then.

Looking for boat shoes?

I guess there is an advantage to having shoes the size of clown shoes - nobody wants them. Surely it's not my fashion choices.

The latest Riviera mag tells me Riviera( aka Riv) have sent 4 big shiny new Rivs to the Show. Essentially high powered cruisers with planing ability, they operate fine at trawler speeds and have a reputation for good build quality and longevity. Just a matter of accepting the acres of white gelcoat, and wondering how they get 1/8" of glossy varnish on the interior woodwork.

Wifey B, high heeled Topsiders?
I was going to try to avoid it but Canada Metal asked me to sell their anchors again. My buddy Darrel is going to man the booth but I guess I'll have to go up for some of it.

Wifey B: Hope Oliver doesn't take my shoes. He'll look quite cute though. Or maybe he'd like heels. Or he could steal hubbies shoes but then he would look clownish. Guess he can stuff enough paper into a size 13
Just saw this now, ROFL!!:lol::lol:

Deleted the Riv mag so can`t check the number. 2 could be from an indirect source, or it could have been 6, either way 6 Rivs sent all that way is a lot of boats. All the more remarkable considering Riv had a " near death experience" post GFC.
Is Maritimo ( current brand of Bill Barry-Cotter a prior owner who started Riv) exhibiting? Expect similarities.
Maritimo has a 50', 53', 58', and 68' shown on the tentative listing of boats there.

That`s impressive. I`m always amazed when, with our wage structure, we can make something and sell in into overseas markets. Are the boats really price competitive or do they fill a gap in the market?

Day one visit the Feadship display on the face dock and get one of their straw hats. They have plastic tubes full of hats on the side of the tent. Straw style sun hats with a Feadship band. Missed those hats 2 years in a row.
