BOAT SHOW TIME

It's that time of year again when all the new boatmakers, watersports vendors, fishing outfitters and water related businesses get to show off their stuff.

We at the Boaters' Rights Coalition of Oregon encourage all of you to support your local merchants that help provide the means by which we are all able to enjoy our water recreation be it fishing, sailing, paddling or powerboating.

Even if you're not currently in the market to buy your next watercraft, we all need to lend our support in these tough economic times.

Currently there is a boat show going on at Sundance Yachts through Sunday the 17th, and the Portland Boat show begins Wednesday the 13th through Monday the 18th at the Portland Expo Center.

Everyone have a great start to this new year!
