    Judy Waldman is working the show. This morning, she gave a 90 minute seminar on steel vs. aluminum vs. composite. She had her work cut out for her... it's tough to conjure up 9 minutes on the subject, none-the-less 90!

    I promised her I would sit in at her seminar, but I wrecked my back helping a neighbor load a generator on the back of his truck this morning. Spent the day gobbling muscle relaxers and Motrin; horizontal on the couch.

    I was also suppose to do a sea trial on the new Bertram 54 at a Ferretti Press Conference today, but Loren Schweizer attended for me. Pending a better back, I'm headed to Trawlerfest with Tom Serio tomorrow afternoon. I'll ask him to upload a few pics afterwards.

    Seminar correction: Friday, Feb. 1st at 8:30

    Just got in from Trawler Fest and of course one of my first "to do's" is checking in for what's new on YF and came across this post. It's not too late! My seminar on Metal vs Fiberglass is tomorrow: Friday morning at 8:30.

    Carl, sorry to hear about your back. Pop a few more feel gooders and come to the seminar!

    Today had a great turnout with serious learners, and serious buyers too. What a great mini-boat show!
