Annapolis Boat Shows return this October

A fall mini-vacay coinciding with Canadian Thanksgiving might be in the cards for many boat-minded lockdown escapees. The Annapolis shows are going ahead at full speed, but will we be able to get there by car? Let us hope the situation warrants cross-border travel by then.

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.

As I shift our chartered canal boat into neutral, I’m soothed by the soundtrack of bird calls, the occasional plaintive horn of a distant train and the hum of our engine.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
