I saw an ad for the Boston Boat Show. It got me thinking ??? Should I go to
the show? Is there a reason to pay for a chance to spend?

It is $12 dollars. Years ago, I would go to the show and there would be
deals so that I would save more than the boat show admission.

What do you sailors think?

Absolutly yes. I was sorry that I could not attend the Strickly Sail
Chicago show. I am delighted that I will be at the Miami show. Last
year I got to Annapolis, Chicago and Miami. I am not a show junkie but
one who is relatively new to sailing and continually learning. The
expertise exposure and deals make it very valuable to go.

I would just like to pitch the Maine Boat Builders Show which is held in
Portland, Maine in March each year. It is a different kind of boat show with
mostly small boat builders and parts people showing. There are always
beautiful examples of the boat builders art that you can see, touch, and
smell. It is the only show that I still religiously attend.
