It’s Good To Have a Boat Show Back on Our Shores

The Bay Area hasn’t hosted an in-the-water sail and power boat show since spring 2019, and it’s good to finally have one back on the Bay! The Pacific Sail & Power Boat Show opened yesterday at Westpoint Harbor in Redwood City on a day that reminds you of the many reasons outdoor-event planning is hard. Rain the day before and showers yesterday threatened to keep activity at bay, but the return of boats, exhibitors and visitors reminded us all why it’s fun to get together in person and look at the many boats on display.

Barry and Samantha Spanier were happy to be back at a show and running into many old friends. They recently launched their scow-bowed 42-ft dream cruiser, Rosie G, drawn by Jim Antrim and built by Cree Partridge at Berkeley Marine Center.

The weather is a little sketchy, but getting together with people again more than makes up for any other resistance to shows. Latitude 38 and many other exhibitors are hosting a post-show Cinco de Mayo party this evening for those who can come by today. The show runs through Sunday. We hope to see you there.
