Hey are you attending? Not a trawler boater but am a looper dreamer. I guess you could say we've done a half loop.

I recall the seminars being held at the Holiday Inn, with the boats being docked at Calvert Marina. I also recall Mark Richter, of Winnie-the-Pooh, being at the engine seminars discussing his building of Winnie. I believe that Bruce Kessler was present discussing cruising on the original Zopilote, a highlight of the presentations. > > But most of all was the camaraderie of all who attended which was solidified with Friday nights Crab Feast!!! Oh, my goodness, the bushels of crab just piled onto the tables all night long. My lips were numb from the Old Bay seasoning :). > > In 1998, my wife attended as well. We stayed at the Holiday Inn and met a Canadian couple who had docked their 44 Gulfstar at that location, instead of Calvert. We wound up driving them back and forth to the seminars all weekend. My wife fell in love with the Gulfstar, and that set the tone for our purchase of a 44 Atlantic in 2001, which we lived aboard and cruised during summers in NY for 6 years. Unfortunately, we've lost track of that couple, but did host them at our yacht club in NY on their way back to Canada. They had cruised the Caribbean as far as Puerto Rico and the Turks and Caicos since meeting them at Trawler Fest. > > At the '98 event we sat with Skipper Bob and his wife Elaine for the crab feast and the stories and jokes he told that night kept us all in tears.
