Our Experience Building the LARGEST Sailboat Show in the World! Behind the Scenes!

Marisa and I worked for the 2024 Annapolis Boat show. We worked for the Annapolis powerboat show and also the Annapolis Sailboat show! We had to stop in Annapolis to make some money to allow us to continue cruising on our Valiant 32 sailboat. We live on this tiny sailboat and are currently traveling the east coast!

You two helped make our time at the show that much more enjoyable. John

Happy thanksgiving! We hope you're both doing well!

Excellent episode…was at the show, was there during the setup….but this video pulls it all together. Thanks, Andrew (catamaran Reload ‘n Charge!)

[@Bretandmarisa]

Oh awesome! You were moored on back creek right? I always saw your boat and wondered what it was. What model is it?

[@reloadncharge9907]

@ Yes, Back Creek all summer while I dealt with vet/dog issues. She is a Dean 400 cat built in South Africa 1997, before the big condo cats emerged! Should have stopped by! Sailed offshore and am now in Stuart, Fl until the New Year. Will keep up with your travels, fun videos to date. Thanks, Andrew

[@Bretandmarisa]

@reloadncharge9907 awesome we love Stuart! That's where we bought our boat. Maybe we'll see you down there

[@MikeT-f6x]

You two look like you had a ton of fun. Please do a video on solar installation. Continue to work hard and enjoy the good times!! Be safe and stay slow. Great video!!

[@patrickandmichaela]

So nice to see so many familiar faces! Loved this video and getting to see the behind the scenes of working the boat show. Love ya'll! ❤

[@Bretandmarisa]

We miss you already!

[@kbVACArestatecarsnrvs]

Love to see people enjoying themselves even if it's W-O-R-K! A lot goes into those shows that most do not realize. You are both troopers! So it sounded like going south was on the agenda, which I don't blame you one bit! Looking forward to your next journey. Be safe and thank you for sharing.

[@Bretandmarisa]

You've got to have fun! We had a great time and worked hard! The Bahamas is our goal! We're hauled out right now doing bottom paint but it looks like we're going to have to do some repairs to blisters :(

[@jeanettecompeau4319]

Awesome video! It was amazing to see how much work goes into the setup. Safe travels and we can't wait until the next video. Great job guys! #sailingonthewing⛵

[@Bretandmarisa]

Thank you! I'm sure you're fine! Just have some fun

[@jasonreott]

Great video, y'all! I loved seeing the show from your perspective. I had such a great time working with both of you, and I'm so happy that we met. The boat show was truly better off for y'all being there. Holler if you're back around the area, and hopefully we can go run some whitewater next time. Cheers! - Jake

Thanks for watching

[@TammyBillings-qt1ve]

Lots goes into the boat show. I saw you with Patric and Mikayla on their channel. Good to see you out there.

[@Bretandmarisa]

More than I expected! So many things you don't typically think of

[@DonnaBiggs-wv1ml]

Great video guys loved every minute of it ❤🎉😂😅 great editing and great ppl keep it up your otw to the top

[@Bretandmarisa]

AMAZING PEOPLE, and thanks Marisa spent a lot of time editing this one

[@yas46]

I saw Shelly while walking across the bridge walking towards the sailboat show. I actually have a picture of her lined up with other boats

[@Bretandmarisa]

That's so awesome! It's so cool you recognized her. What did you think of the show?

[@markotis9536]

Hey guys. Really enjoy your channel. Watching your latest video I noticed you don't have the wicker roof anymore. It's solar panels. Did you make a video of the install? I'm looking to do the same. Thanks

[@Bretandmarisa]

I didn't record anything when I installed them. They are tied with Paracord to our bimini frame lol, not the greatest thing but it's working so far. Let me know if you have any questions and I can try to answer them

[@nolanmailhos1470]

How did you get so cool?!:-)

[@Bretandmarisa]

You're just now realizing it!?
