This morning 10AM the official start of spring in New England! Type in 415 Summer St, Boston into your GPS and get over to the BCEC right now! Go smell the fresh fiberglass of powerboats, sailboats, shiny stainless steel accessories and marine electronics. You know you need a new anchor, new LED lights, new fishing lure, new depth gauge, new side scan sonar, new boat gizmo of some kind!.
New England Boat Show website. Cape Ann is represented at the boat show. Rubber Duck has a quick tip. Go straight there and buy tickets at the door. The one thing you want to bring is a floor map (click here). Before you go just find all the booths you do not want to miss and circle them. It’s a big show so you might miss something.
Rubber Duck has circled: Brown’s Yacht Yard booths 1850 & 1852, Cape Ann Marina booths 221 & 223, J & L Welding & Machine booth 150. One more link: Jeff Amero of J & L saves his best photos for his Facebook page here where he posts works of art in aluminum.
Rubber Duck will be going Monday from 1 to 4 PM. Patrick Star will be there next Saturday March 1 from noon to 3PM. Bring your camera!
Saturdays, February 22 & March 1, 10am–8pm
Sunday, February 23, 11am–6pm
Monday thru Friday, 1pm–9pm
Sunday March 2 11am–5:30pm
Good Morning Gloucester 
I would love to buy a boat. Buying the boat isn’t the problem. affording the cost of docking it is.

I want to walk on my boat but for a slip you pay by the foot. I’m thinking of going with a three footer and working up. They measure the engine too so I might skip that part for a while.
