Default Boat Show Shoes?

Tyvek won't breathe and will make your feet sweat something
awful.......

How about that nice soft material with the plastic soles Cathay
Pacific gives out for "cabin booties" on their most wonderful flights
from Gatwick to the Middle East and Asia? There's something soft in
the soles on the inside which make your feet feel wanted, not all
sweaty!

We could sell them just outside the gate. Or better yet, just
inside with the show logo on them. :-) What do you think Peggie?


Forget the show logo...the show won't pay us squat to put their name
on 'em. Let's make some money doing the same thing pro tennis
players, skiers, and race cars do--get every mfr we can find room for
to pay big bucks to put their logos on 'em!

You put up the money for the booties, I'll find the sponsors.


You know, that's not a bad idea! The Official r.b.c. boat bootie!

A slip on Tyvek bootie with an elastic ankle band and lots of logos. A
box of 200 Tyvek shoe covers with nonslip soles cost $100.00 at
Grainger. Polypropylene is $40. For a few thousand pair direct from
the manufacturer we are probably talking under a quarter a pair. Two
bucks a pair to cover the production, sellers pay and expenses and all
the logo fees are profit.

To late for this year but we need to remember that for next year's show
season. :-)

3600 planes with transponders are burning 8-10 million
gallons of kerosene per hour over the USA. R-12 car air
conditioners are responsible for the ozone hole, right?
