Default Went today (Monday)

Had never been to the NE Boat show before, and my wife and I were both off, so we printed up a pair of tickets (paid for of course), set the BCEC into the Garmin, and we were off.

Went down 95/rt1, and from 93 merge to Summer St in front of the center, when I once again started to breath (not much traffic here in Alton ) was a little hectic, but the rest of the trip was nice, and Holiday light.

Impressed with the show, the boats, and it was nice to see a lot of the local marinas represented.

After chatting with an Irwin salesperson, we went on the 52 ft Searay. Sitting in the cockpit of the boat reminded me of sitting in the cockpit of a DC10...everything was so huge. Wife noticed the washer/dryer under the stairs going below deck and said she wouldn't want to do laundry on the boat. I said for the $975,000 the boat cost, she wouldn't have to worry about doing the laundry, she could afford to have someone do it for her .

Seriously, nice show, and was getting busy when we left around 2. (got there before they opened at 11.)
