Some people who must dislike you all very much have conspired to get me on an airplane and to the show.

I don’t understand what I did to deserve friends like I have, but whatever.

I can’t imagine it will be difficult to pick me out of the crowd? Or hear me. I am super loud IRL.

Friday only, hopefully dinner with the Mannheimers.

[Oldad]

Have missed but one show in the past 20 years or so and wife says I will miss this one too.

I have lurked, and then been a member here (at least since the days of Ross and Barret Faneuf and Coel Mor ), alas, I have not been to a WBS yet - maybe in the near future . . .

[Michael_Owen]

I'll be there with Nimbus on the main green. Hope to meet some Forumites in person!

Sadly I won’t be able to get there until early Saturday afternoon and will be there through Sunday. I would love to offer my boat as an R&R spot , but I will most likely be stuck out on an anchor (the rate to tie up is not in my budget).
In past years the Oyster house (building out over the water next to Emma C. Berry) has been a meeting spot.

Looking forward to seeing forumites!

[Skegemog]

My gosh I wish I could go!

[Canoez]

SWMBO and I will be there Saturday - looking forward to seeing folks.

[Rich Jones]

Looking forward to a group photo!

I ended up taking in the show very quickly on Friday morning after a Thursday trip to the Herreshoff Museum for some research and attend a talk about RELIANCE. A bit of truck trouble swiftly resolved (thank goodness) and then I drove home early to beat the hellacious "New England to Maine" summer traffic.

The new boat exhibit in the big swoopy welcome center building and the Rosenfeld photos in the chapel was great. Tom Townsend's boats were the queens on the floats. He's a master. This one of his restorations now belongs to a neighbor: https://www.soundingsonline.com/features/cool-change

I finally made it about 4:00.

So sorry we missed you at the Show, like ships passing in the afternoon.
