Back from the show!

We're back from the boat show in Oakland, CA.  Quite a disappointment.  No where as many vendors as we had expected plus attendance from two years ago was way down--way way down!  The seminars were great.  Learned a lot and bought a lot.  Brought some home and having a lot shipped later to Newport after we get there and get a mailbox.

Had a nice trip--a bit cold and very windy but no rain at least.  Met lots of nice people and saw a lot of new gear for the boat.  Bought a neat piece of equipment to get me to the top of the mast as well as a drogue to attach to the stern of the boat to help slow us down in a big storm plus lots more goodies.

Nice to be home.  With luck we will be gone by this time next week.  Time will tell.
