Default New England Boat Show ... report.

The last Philly show was about 1/2 the size of the previous Philly Show
which was 1/2 the size of the last AC show.


That's distressing, particularly since I attended the first AC show
which was well attended, and a few after that. The second or third
proved to be an incredible boost to my lady's confidence level -- which
I'd like to repeat as her only weakness is her lack of confidence.

I early learned *not* to attend an AC show on good-weather days as
there weren't going to be any parking spots after the Philly area
drivers got in, and we're west of Philly and I'm *not* a morning person
outside of the season so don't start out at dawn in January.

I'm not surprised the Philly location seems to have failed, though I'm
sad it's not happening this year. Getting into town during a weekend
isn't fun even for those of us who know all the alternate paths.
