The morning was free but somehow I never had time to get my
hair cut. Breakfast was late and before
we knew it, it was time for the first seminar which, for us, was Active Captain
101. About 15 minutes before it was to
start a 44 came in and would need to dock off of our bow. Bob showed up about 10 minutes later and
volunteered to help with lines so I went to the seminar. When it was over there were 3 more 42s tied
up after us and Bob missed the first seminar.
The second seminar for me was Grampsters Pride products. We volunteered our boat for cleaning the
fiberglass hull and our vinyl chair. It
made a difference so I bought two of the fiberglass and stainless cleaning
products. The chair was cleaned for
free! Bob attended the Advanced Active Captain. Both seminars were about things you could do
with it rather than how to do things so we have more studying to do. Soon the seminars were over and it was time
for dinner.

We had both missed lunch so
were famished. The appetizers by North
Dock were plentiful, varied, delicious and quickly disappeared. Their disappearance were followed by a dinner
of pizza and salad culminating in a Weather Seminar by Chris Parker. I bought the book with the idea that if I read
enough about weather I might begin to understand it a little. We took showers on the boat this time as our shower is better
than the one ashore.

Went to talks all day; The Dry Tortugas, boat tax treatment
in various states, especially Florida, gun on your boat issues including things
you should know about entering and exiting countries in the Caribbean, How to
fish from your trawler and Circumnavigating the North and Baltic Sea. And in between we had breakfast, lunch,
dinner and the Pet Parade which turned out to be all dogs except for one green
dragon and her witch.
Friday and Saturday...more of the same.
