Today we did the boat show. We ended up taking the water taxi into the show today, instead of braving the dingy dock. Yesterday, it was very busy and today it is the first full day of regular admission...it may be busier. The water taxi is neat. You hail them over the radio, describe your boat and location and they come right over. Quite handy. We lined up and got our tickets for the boat show. It is such a busy place. The show is all outside and mostly on the docks so you soon get disoriented. We went to the catamaran section first. They had, I think, one 'small' catamaran that was 39 feet...but, the rest were in the 40's and 50's. They are quite large and have way too many features and space that they seem a little overboard (But, for the record, if one showed up at the dock with our name on it....I could get quite used to it! ;) ) Connor got hooked on a small sailboat demo section that they had set up for kids. It was the first time he had tried the small boats and now he is hooked. We definitely will set him up for sailing school for the summer. The treat today was seeing the large gang from QCYC that take a pilgrimage to the boat show every year. We ended up meeting up for happy hour and then called it a night when the boat show ended early evening. It was a long day and the scorching sun all day made crashing into bed early the next item on the days agenda.
