Pacific Marine Expo 2010

I attended one day of the Pacific Marine Expo with my dad this year in Seattle, Washington. It was a whole convention center packed with everything from cooling systems to life rafts for emergencies. It was definitely only interesting for those actually shopping for items such as these. There were also brokers selling and taking on ships to sell.

A comment i made to my dad is that you can tell a fisherman from the way he dresses and the facial hair he has. This room was full of grizzly looking men with beards. Every aisle we walked down my dad ran into some he knows and has known for years.

The next day we attended the dinner for his Insurance. Once a year i guess they get all the fishermen together that have had this insurance for some time and feed them a whole meal. We both had the Filet Mignon. We received a salad, our steaks with potatoes, and steamed veggies accompanied with white and red wine and followed by dessert.

Here is a picture of us below following our feast.
