Well, get out the camera and show us!

The show was doing poorly up until Saturday. It was REALLY packed. I
bought a
new Gill Jacket, sail ties and one of those flashlights that you shake to
charge (Nightstar) for just 29 bucks. Spoke to the Tartan/C&C folk a bit
(They
offered me 35K for Alien if I signed for a new C&C 99...LOL!) and visited
the
Hunter DS 43 or 44(?), a very spacious boat that is less offensive on the
water
than earlier boats. The raised effect of the main cabin was minimal, but
the
interior was well done for her purposes and the quality seemed better than
the
Beneteau. Marc says one of these outran a badly sailed C&C 37XL
LONG lines for the Tartan and Sabre boats as usual. The newest version of
the
Mac was there with a small crowd puzzling over it. Dark awlgrip failed to
class
it up.
West Marine was selling their baseline binoculars with compass for
139.00...a
good price, and just about everything was 10% off. Overall not too many
great
deals around. I got the Key West Jacket and sailing gloves for 195.00,
which is
a pretty good price.
