We took the Katy Leigh north 23 miles to Green Turtle Bay (GTB) Marina in order to try out having a seminar associated with the show. Vebbie Griffith, Sales Broker made all the arrangements and the seminars were held on Saturday at one of the condo units. We started with 9 in attendance and covered What to Expect Cruising America's Great Loop. Part way through that talk 2 more people showed up having driven from Houston, TX. They were bringing a boat up the Tenn-Tom the following week and wanted to know what to expect. I put together my slides from that part of the Great Loop and showed them from south to north. We'll try it again at the fall boat show using the convention center and I'll line up some more speakers. There are many topics for boaters that can be covered in an hour. I made up a list of 17 possible talks as follows:
- Great Loop
- Boating on the Lakes
- Locking
- GPS
- Radar
- VHF Radio Use
- Winterizing
- Summerizing
- Anchoring
- Charts
- Rules of the Waterway
- Buying a Boat
- Selling a Boat
- Keeping in Touch
- Choosing a Dinghy
- AIS
- Waste Management
