Annapolis MD Boat Show 2014 NOON meetings

The IP Fleet will be gathering in Annapolis Md for the yearly Annapolis Sailboat Show 2014. The show opens on Thursday Oct 9th with a special VIP day. Then Fri to Mon the show is open to the public. Tickets can be bought here. www.annapolisboatshows.com/united-states-sailboat-show/

The Island Packet Fleet, Owners, Dealers, Wannabees and guests are welcome at our NOON informal gatherings on the ROOF of the Navy Fleet Reserve. NOTE: You can access this area WITHOUT going into the show, or buying a ticket, simply walk into the FRONT door from the street side. The Fleet Reserve is accessible from the show side docks on the water and from the street side on the front of the buiding.

Simply go into the building and onto the BACK PORCH / DOCK area, then get your meal (beef sandwich or salad inside) and then head on up to the roof top over looking the show. There, under the white tent, you will find many tables to gather around. Look for other Island Packet Owners who should have on some IP gear, hats, stickers, etc. Maybe even the IPYOA Battle Flag will be flown, if allowed. We have done this in the past!

To help Identify yourself, stop by the IPY YACHTS on display on DOCK D, dock DELTA, and there you will find S&J Yachts, the MD dealer, and you will find Island Yachting, the Virgin Islands Dealer. Stop in and say hi and ask them for an IP Owner's STICKER or TWO. Ask for the sticker that says....ISLAND PACKET....PROUD OWNER.....stick this in your shirt and then head on over to the NOON ROOF TOP gatherings and find other owners and guests.

Radeen and I try to be there every day, Thur to Sunday at NOON until ???? We try to connect with as many IP owners as we can. So, stop by, get a sticker, and show your IPYOA pride.

Here is a map/picture of the event.

We have a NEW development, thanks to Ed and Debbie Whiteaker of Whiteaker Yacht Sales. Read this announcement...
