I've been coming to the Toronto International Boat Show for years and it is an awesome event if you are at all interested in boating. I love coming to get great deals on boating accessories, clothing, equipment and to check out the new beautiful boats. Over the years, the focus of the show has shifted from sailboats to powerboats and other water craft, but it is still a great venue for buying associated products and seeing what is new. The last few years I have attended a few seminars and they have been outstanding. I will focus more on those this year- especially any seminar led by Pam Wall, a renown outfitter for those interested in offshore sailing. For die hard boaters, it is a welcome reprieve in January as we count down days til the spring launch!
