Went to the show last Friday on the 12th,
Haven't been there since 07
We went for many year's on Friday,
would get there about 8;30 or so,would crawl into town with all the traffic. Bar's were hopping,etc
When we got there this year about 9;30 and with the Naval accademy gate in sight ,we thought we had the wrong day.
I would say around 2 in the afternoon the were as many people as there used to be around 11,maybe
Ocean yacht;s were not even there,they used to bring around about 5,6,7 boat's
Viking had 1 50ft sportfish and 1 42 open cockpit.and 1 euroboat,they used to have 3 big sportfist and 1 or 2 euros
We used to get breakfast(and bloddy mary;s) at I think it was Ego's right there at ego alley,we would have about a dozen of us or so around 9 or so in the morning,and when we would get up to go,there would usually be other people hanging around that would usually grab our table.
This year at that time,some of those places looked barely open.
Found some info online that the sailboat show had decent attendance,can't seem to find anything yet on the powerboat show attendance,it's either to early,or I haven't hit the right sites.
O well ,a sign of the economy I guess
Still had a good time,it's the event for us.
