For American men a boat show is an opportunity to check out the new boat models, look at the latest in electronics (aka toys) and maybe, just maybe buy the yearly pair of deck shoes, assuming of course that the old ones are thoroughly worn out For the fairer sex it's an opportunity to add yet another pair of deck shoes to a collection that most men cannot even begin to comprehend. Of course they love boats too or they would not be married to guys like us.
As for myself and the folks at Back Cove who plan, setup and man our boat show displays, boatshows are our turn to shine. At shows we get to meet and greet, talk, brag, answer tough questions and most importantly we get to represent the wonderful people from right here in Rockland, Maine, USA who craft our amazing boats. I wish they could all be there to hear the praise but they have boats to build.
Our first boat show of the fall season is in Oslo, Norway where our dealer Azure Yachts has a Back Cove 33 on display and from there Cannes, Seattle, Newport, Cedar Point, Norwalk, Genoa, Annapolis and Ft Lauderdale all come tumbling one atop the other. It's a frenzy but it is truly fun and we look forward to it with enthusiasm. With luck we'll be coming home with orders to add to our employment role and create some new jobs, right here in the Great State of Maine.
As for the shoes, my wife also works at these shows and she knows I am a size 11 1/2 . Same style as always. Boring !
