Old Salt

I went on Thursday and was quite pleasantly surprised. Lots of boats (more than for a long time) and other interesting things, helicopter, FA Cup, pianos, hot tubs, camper vans...hang on, it was the Boat Show I was at? Joking aside, at least BMF are trying something different going from 10 to 5 days and broadening the outlook. I wonder what happened to the 'Bespoke' part of the show - probably couldn't fill the space? By all accounts it was a busy show with some good trade going on, so hopefully it's given the show a stay of execution. However, Dusseldorf is a far bigger and better show, maybe London show call it a draw and BMF stick to producing one really good show in Southampton. Just my two pennies.

Certainly was a lucky escape, although can't imagine why the fishing boat didn't take avoiding action...easy to say after the event though.
