Title: 2018 Annapolis Sailboat Show
Post by: Reighnman on September 04, 2018, 08:17:33 AM
I've booked a room for Friday night and plan on being at the show all day Friday. Anyone interested in a Pain Killer for lunch? We're staying about 5 miles from downtown at a dinky motel.

My parents are watching our son so one night only for us. We did Saturday last year and it was PACKED. I want to get there early on Friday so we can see the "smaller" monohulls without too many people.

Got an email from G. Winter's Sailing in Riverside NJ for a preview show at their facility on 9/22. Says they'll have 50 boats available and they're giving out Annapolis tickets for free! Well, 1 person per person, while supplies last:). Not a bad deal if you're close. Link below

Ellen and I are planning Thursday and Friday, and staying a few miles away, either Hampton or Hilton garden inn.  Used my points from business travel for room.  Pain killer lunch on Friday sounds like plan.  We did 2 day pass, w/Thursday VIP just to avoid the big crowd.  The day 2 is more for weather insurance,  and as cool down period to make sure I do not do anything stupid with family funds...

We make a mini vacation out of it, and this year plan on stopping into new Guinness Brewery in Baltimore, and a couple days at Colonial Williamsburg.

But, with wife a FEMA worker, and hurricane season in full swing, there is always good chance I will be solo again.

Admiral Ellen and I confirm we will be there on Thursday, all day.  Friday-at Guiness Brewery Baltimore, Friday night back to Hilton Garden inn, Annapolis, and at show Sat morning, leaving after lunch.  Will be having pain killers for lunch, one for me as I am driver, more for Ellen...

Had to make reservation at Guinness, and already sold out tour bookings...

Hope to see y'all there.
