Yup, I agree. Nothing really stood out. Still, A good way to waste the morning.

I go for the fish chowder across the street at the No Name.

I hope to be there tomorrow.

I went sat night.
Show was so so, light turnout for a sat in my opinion.
Went to talk with Navico reps about an auto pilot system for my boat. I have 0 interest in the types of boats at these shows, Maine boat builders show is more my style so checking out the auto pilot in person is the only reason I went.
Saw the 28 Nauset as I was heading out , it caught my interest so I went on it to check it out.
