This years show had to set some kind of record for the
number of
manufactures requiring no shoes for boarding their boats.


Generally I don't mind, but in the pouring rain? No thanks.

Besides, a lot of the boats being shown are already
privately owned, so the 'take your shoes off' routine is a
gesture toward the owner.
