BWI is the closest major airport. Under 90 minutes away.

That's a major airport. I'm sure there is a smaller airport closer that can handle M/P's privet jet if he brings the smaller one.

Renewed my membership and sent the paper work off for the show.
Hope to see you there.

Here is a newer wood boat from the show that I seriously tried to make a trade for (not telling you what I offered).

As if you needed another reason to come to the show, here is a list of the seminars.
One month away!
Hope to see you all there.

Hey folks, the show is coming up in just a couple weeks and a friendly reminder that you all should make an effort to attend. Lots of cool stuff to see at the show and there is the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum on the grounds, St Michaels the historic town itself, restaurants, shops, bars with live bands … plenty to do or do nothing at all.
If you all mention this website I will let you stand at the steering wheel and look down the same deck Allen “Brownie” Brown did many times and I’ve been told the great Don Aronow once did back in the late 1960’s during the heyday of offshore racing. You all have herd Brownie’s adventures in this boat ( http://www.powerboatnation.com/brown...anna-have-fun/ ). Now come see his engineering creation in person and if you are there at just the right time there may be a ride happening.

Going in early tomorrow. Parking lot duty in the rain at 8AM will get old, but by 1-2-3 o'clock it should be beautiful. Come on out!

Sat-Sun weather looks perfect.

Our ACBS Toronto chapter show is July 9th. There are pre-event runs on both the 6th and 7th with a poker run on the 8th. Fiberglassics welcome and judged if you want to be. Show entry is free to ACBS members. Judging, pre events and poker run have a nominal fee but, all boats are eligible for show sponsor awards.

This years theme is Greavette Boats..."Heading home to Gravenhurst". In fact part of the show grounds are on the of the old Greavette property. Of course, I'll have my Greavette there again and I'm told we already have over 30 of her siblings too. Not bad for a show of about 130 boats. There's something for everyone (except pontoons and PWC's )

If you come, make sure to buy a T-shirt!
