The exhibitor information packages for this year's show went out this week. May seem kind of early since most boats aren't even in the water, but we are trying to give exhibitors time to book and pay for space before the HST comes into effect. If you haven't received your exhibitor's package by March 15th, or would just like one send us an email.
The Speaker's Tent, sponsored by informedboater.com is coming together nicely. Rob MacLeod will be returning to talk about cruising electronics. He and his wife Mary have spent this winter cruising the Caribbean, and Rob has a lot of new insights into 'can't live without' cruising equipment when venturing out on a long haul. I'm also hoping that Mary will join Rob to talk about what it's 'really' like taking a cruise for several months.
Wally Moran is also returning this year. When he's not down south, you can always catch up with him on his website thesailingchannel.tv. He will speak all three days and will cover a different part of his trip (Toronto > ICW > Bahamas) each day. That should be fun. Seasoned cruisers can also ask Wally about Cuba, a place he's visited often.
Unfortunately Paul and Sheryl Shard won't be joining us this year. They are filming season seven of their television show Distant Shores. They will be cruising the Baltic Sea all summer. I suppose if I had to choose between Port Credit and the Baltic Sea well.. They are commissioning their new Southerly 49 this month!
