Spent the weekend at the Toronto boat show. It is a great show for equipment suppliers, not so much for the actual boats. I heard  A few Other people said the same thing as Liz and I, the new boats feel cheap and the interiors look like particle board from IKEA! Not impressed. There was one shining light, a Polish Company called TES had a nice 28 footer. I hope they build some bigger models because the layout and workmanship is fantastic. I learned a few things about AIS, and had a great dinner at the Spaghetti Factory. Good times.

 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! A few shots from Sanibel Island where myself, Wife Liz and Dog Marley warmed up for 10 days over the holidays. I saw a few sailboats out in the Gulf...must be nice! Best of all, I correctly set the date on my camera, a Christmas miracle!

There are few things funnier than watching a dog who grew up on the great lakes, run to the ocean an lap up a quick drink. When her paws dried out, Marley realized they were salty and licked them all night.  We have her on a low salt diet now. Going down to the yard to check on my poor frozen vessel today. Here comes that longggg four months.
