I now refuse to remove my shoes! Last year at the Newport, RI boat show, I
took off my brand new $90 pair of boat shoes to go aboard a Huckins. After
inspecting the boat, I went to put on my shoes and they were gone! Someone had
stolen my shoes!
I couldn't believe it, but I had no choice but to buy another pair of shoes
from one of the exhibitors at the show!

I wonder if he's the one who stole them?

Last year at the Annapolis Boat Show I noticed a couple of people going
barefoot. Solved the problem... except that their feet get filthy and
track grit onto the boats... but hey, they don't have to remove their shoes!
