The TIBS is the best thing going here in the winter. After tucking the boat away, spring seems so far away. Then the Boat Show emails start and we mark the calendar and buy tickets. Sometimes it's just us, or with friends or get a room to chat over all the cool stuff. Sometimes it is amazing how many people you bump into at the show or the hotel that you know, or make new friends. It gives you hope that the boat is outfitted with new purchases, and plans for cruising destinations make us feel that spring is really not hat far off. Love "the lake" and all the shows too. What a great way to spend a day or weekend getaway.!
