Sail Boat Show, Annapolis, Maryland
Susan and I have been attending the United States Sail Boat Show in Annapolis, Maryland, for about 30 year now but, this year I decided to wear a kilt. Because we would be climbing in, out and around sailboats, I just wore my utility kilt. As usual, we had a great time but, wow, did I get the comments. One very interesting vender (and perhaps, our favorite) was a Scottish distillery who's product is gin and, they were passing out FREE samples (OH yea). Needless to say, I had picture requests.
This young lady had to have a picture of the guy in a kilt in their Scottish booth. (I don't know why I had that stupid bottle in my hand in all the pictures?)

That's the Maryland State Capital Dome as seen through the masted throng of the Sail Boat Show. If you are a sailor, this is one of the greatest events you can attend in one of the coolest places in the world, Annapolis, Maryland, a drinking town with a sailing problem.

Simon Fraser fought as MacShimidh, a Highland chief… wrapped and belted in a plaid over the top of his linen shirt, like his ordinary kinsmen. He put a bonnet on his head, and stuck the Fraser emblem, a sprig of yew, in it. With the battle cry, A'Chaisteal Dhunaidh and the scream of the pipes, they charged to battle.

Nice photos. Just a bit envious. I used to go to the "Boat Show" (I think they had other minor things related to the outdoors, as well ) at the Cow Palace in South San Francisco for years. Always wanted to go to the Annapolis show. Unfortunately, timing never quite clicked (I always ended up back there at the wrong time of year, and in the field when the show was planned.)

You mean the bottle wasn't the sample?
