Ahoy, all hands!
Anyone still around who attended the first Trawler Fest back in 1996,
August 9-11 at Port Orchard in Puget Sound and October 11-13 at Solomons in
the Chesapeake?
I'm preparing an article on the founding of Trawler Fest for PassageMaker
Magazine and need help remembering how it was way back then. I'm especially
interested in the years 1996-2002.

Flashback: I started Trawler Fest in 1996, with the support of West
Marine, one year before launching Trawler World List (TWL) which continues
today as Trawlers & Trawlering List (T&T). Great Loop List was started
during a Great-Loop gathering at an early Trawler Fest at Solomons.
Here's how Trawler Fest was first announced on Sailing Forum at
CompuServe:
West Marine Trawler Fest is a special new event open to all makes of
motorboats and motorsailers and the people who cruise, voyage and
live aboard them, and the people who want to.
Trawler Fest is a rendezvous, an in-water boat show, seminars and
workshops, social activities, a
weekend of fun on the water, and a cruise in company the week
following for those on vacation.
We are thrilled to have Jim and Susy Sink, who recently completed a
circumnavigation of the world aboard Salvation II, a Nordhavn 46, as
our special guests of honor at Trawler Fest. The slide presentation
on their great adventure will doubtless be one of the highlights of
the weekend.
If you'd like more information via email, just let me know. If you
want an event brochure and registration form mailed to you, email
me your address. Indicate your preference for Puget Sound August
9-11 or Chesapeake October 11-13.
