Behind the Scenes w/ ALL your FAV Youtubers at the Annapolis Boat Show (Calico Skies Sailing Ep 116)

The grand finale of our shore leave in the USA was the Annapolis Boat Show where we hung our with 30+ Sailing Youtubers for a week. This massive event required a lot of work behind the scenes and in this episode we dive into the madness of the weeks leading up it which included adding support to the deck (for the parties), stocking up on booze, setting up the booth at the show, sorting and organizing merchandise, and arranging the 5 RVs, 1 van and 1 tent in the yard where power and water was shared 🙂

And what a show it was! We met a ton of fantastic people, enjoyed the show – and after show – festivities and somehow made it out alive at the end of it all!

We spent our final days in the USA finishing up work related jobs including replacing the rig on our friends 36 foot Catalina, Westwind. Bill also worked to sand and paint her bottom and replace all nav and wind instruments, plus install a radar. Once the work is complete we enjoy a lovely afternoon sail with Bill’s family. It was a fall to remember!!
