Sounds great! I am going to take your offer.

Just say 'I am a YFer' when I aboard? Are you sure other crew will not kick me out.

Yep- just identify yourself and say that Ken invited you. That ought to keep you from getting booted

Please accept my apologies in advance if I'm not personally able to show you around.

My boss is likely coming over for the show next week.

So I've been doing some rain-dancing in order to cool the atmosphere over there in preparation for his arrival (also I watched the NBC evening news yesterday when Brian Williams explained that some parts of Florida were even suffering from drought conditions). So I hope you appreciate my best efforts.

That's the good news.

The bad news is that he'll let me know about the pay-rise I want when he gets back from playing golf in Palma next Monday. And before jetting off to Florida.

Hurricane season ain't over yet and there's a lot I could do with some of the weather coming out of the eastern-Atlantic right now...

If you know my boss, you'll give him a call right away to let him know just how valuable an employee he really has. If you don't, I'd suggest that any FLIBS exhibitors send off their checks and money orders c/o Carl at YachtForums like, pronto. Or as we say in France, "tout de suite"...?!

Thanks for the invites to the Triton Party and the Redline Marine Party. And the official YF "put nameboards to hulls" remains as above? Aw c'mon, bring the YF hats already!

I'm extending an invite to come by and introduce yourself and/or take a look at some special built in the US expedition yachts:

I will be working the American Expedition Yachts display with Stuart Archer in the Custom Yachts/Designers tent, booth # 671, which is about in the middle.

I look forward to meeting the Forum members!

I've been giving some thought to this year's YF raft-up. We need a good, central location to meet. The north barge is too far away for people that are on the south docks. Also, it's often impossible to get a table on the barges. Not to mention the music is deafening! Not exactly conducive to meeting, talking and putting name plates to hulls.

Sooo... how about we meet at the Bahia Mar hotel bar? It's centrally located, air conditioned and has bathrooms. If this works for everyone, I'd like to propose we do this between 3-4:00 in the afternoon, on both Thursday & Friday.

How does this sound?

I'll make my best effort to be there.

The first three are super looking yachts.

I am sure that besides Loren, Judy, and myself there will be other YF'ers working the show and will have a hard time getting to the Bahia Mar Lobby Bar.

I do not want to bend Carl's rule about "promoting my business", but it is nice to put some faces with the names here, and maybe some of the people who are working the show can post our locations during the show.

Just a reminder...

If you’re attending FLIBS this week, YachtForums members are getting together at the Bahia Mar Hotel Pool Bar (on the outside upper deck) on Thursday, October 25th from 3:00-4:00 PM. Look for the “YF Porthole” and come join us!

GrahamF · 10-23-2007, 09:41 PM

Thanks for the reminder Carl. I arrived last night in FT and see you on thursday.
