United States Powerboat Show
October 7-10, 2021
City Dock, Annapolis, MD

In October, boaters from across the US gather in the historic seaport of Annapolis to shop from all major powerboat manufacturers. Spend the day exploring a variety of new and used boat types including bowriders, centre consoles, cruisers, cuddy cabins, deck boats, power cats, and more. A great place to purchase boating supplies, navigation equipment, fishing gear, clothing, and marine accessories.

Come for the show and leave with an enhanced lifestyle as you make side-by-side comparisons, talk to industry representatives, and see the latest in boating products and services. It is a long weekend full of boats, exhibits, shopping, drink tastings, and education.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:
