While this author missed the first one, we can definitely say that the Second Annual Texas Free Boat Show last year was a BLAST!
And while all the boats and vendors will keep you crazy occupied, DO NOT MISS THE GREAT SEMINARS. Last year, Portofino’s own Philip Kropf, The Recreational Boater Information Guy, gave a superb talk on Cruising Galveston Bay. Hopefully he’ll be speaking this year… *crosses fingers*
From the Yachty Gras website:
Yachty Gras is a positive thinking goal-oriented organization formed to bring recognition and tourism to the Bay Area Houston communities. Our events promotes the cities, boating community, businesses & hotels. Each year we give back to other nonprofit organizations.
Cool! And as for the rainy forecast, well…
Laissez les bons temps rouler y’all!
