If any of you are going to the Annapolis sailboat show...

Raritan has invited me to be in their booth all day Friday and Saturday to sell signed copies of my book. It's been a long time since I had my own booth at that show and I'm really looking forward to being there again.

I'm very sorry to not be able to attend this year. I'm flying out of the country, today in fact, and will be gone for most of October. I would have so liked to meet you face to face! Darn! Do it again next year! Please!

"Real" boat shows are getting quite rare way out here in the NW. I would love to attend this show if it were not such a "mighty long airplane ride" away.
ps: I have Peggie's book and it's a great reference.

There's only a 50% chance of rain on Sunday. It won't be crowded.

@lehighsail, another buddy and I were at the show yesterday (Friday).

@Peggie Hall HeadMistress

I enjoyed meeting and talking to @Peggie Hall HeadMistress for quite a while. We chatted about her history with the forum, Phil Herring and how she earned the title of Head Mistress. It was great meeting the person who has helped myself and so many others over the years.

Walking over the bridge to the show we ran into the young lady from Raritan and manning the booth with Peggy, who also was enjoyable to talk to. She confirmed my memory that Raritan began in a building near the McDonald's on High Street in Millville, my home town. My uncle was a machinist for Raritan back then.

And btw I had a great time at the show. I had a booth in it for several years in the '90s--one of the free-standing booths.

The young lady you met on the bridge was Kimberly Carrell, who now runs Raritan...her dad Art Bretnall owns it, but has retired. Her grandfather started it in the 1970s with the first macerating toilet--the Raritan Crown Head, which is a NOISY dinosaur, still in production. I knew someone who had one on a houseboat...he told his kids they wouldn't live till their next birthday if they ever flushed it while he taking a nap!

I enjoyed meeting you and Kimberly, it was a fun day at the show.

 

[Peggie Hall HeadMistress]

Best part of the show was getting to meet some of you "in person!"
