For the past several years there's been a gathering of online friends from Sailnet who come to town for the show. It's always a blast to put IRL faces to the screennames you've been typing to. This year we're hoping to combine the annual
boat show">Annapolis
Boat Show Sailnet Gathering with the
Women Who Sail gathering and include Cruisers Forum folks as well. Friday, Oct 5 after the
Boat Show closes at 7 PM! Since quite a few folks are members of multiple sites, it makes sense to combine the gatherings. (Besides, I've never yet been to a party where people complained there were just too many interesting folks in attendance!) Port
Annapolis marina, on Back Creek. We'll be on the
deck just south of the big gray-and-white building by the pool. Accessible by
water taxi, or
dinghy dock just left of the travelift, or plenty of parking for those coming by car. Bring some good sea stories (or
boat show stories) and whatever you're drinking and we'll all chip in for pizza.
