Guys, the boat show was fantastic.* We motored down on the Friday night, as my son wanted to do some night navigation, which we did, and arrived safely, but not totally without incident, thanks to a couple of boats moored unlit and in the river channel up to Sanctuary Cove.* Fortunately we missed them, thanks only to the fact I was huggng the right side of the channel, because even though we were keeping a good look out, they were invisible against the backdrop of a lot of brightly lit dwellings on the riverbank until we were virtually upon them.* We anchored just downriver 200m from the Cove entrance, and although it rained overnight, we woke to a beautiful day, had a great breakfast and then hailed the local Volunteer Marine Rescue people on the VHF, who were ferrying folk from their boats across to the show for a donation per person.* Got in early - had a good time looking at everything in general, and a few special boats and displays in particular.* Headed back home mid-afternoon in lovely sunny weather and all in all, had a great time.* I have posted a few standouts below.* Walt, (Seahorse), if he's looking, will be interested in the new Islang Gypsy (Halvorsen), 34.* I loved the Nordhavn 47 & 43s* and the Clipper 36 was impressive as well.* There were boats going from the sublime, to the ridiculous, in that order below.
