RYA Publications in the US

Well I thought my travels might be over for this year but I am delighted to say they have brought me to the lovely sunshine of Florida.

It's the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show and I am visiting to help the RYA, Royal Yachting Association, launch their range of nautical books in the US.

The Boat Show is huge, apparently the largest in the world, and my feet can testify to that! Sunseeker were kind enough to allow us to host the launch party on the stand and a big thank you to them for their help.

Since the launch I have been enjoying the sights and sounds of Florida and particularly Palm Beach. It's pretty exclusive, with only window shopping on Worth Ave, the equivalent of Rodeo Drive here.

It's not all sunshine though. It has rained, and rained and rained. In fact on one of the Boat Show days one of the exhibitors we were visting, Bluewater Books and Charts, were making paper boats to float down the aisles - and they were in a marquee!!

Soon be back to the UK and the dark nights, not much fun but I am looking forward filming the next episode of Yachting TV. Hope you are enjoying this one.
