It was a busy weekend here in Corpus Christi, the International Boat Show, Buccaneer Days and the Rodeo were all at the bayfront and kudos to Peter Davidson, Corpus Christi Marina superintendent, for a job well done in hosting another fabulous boat show.
Volunteers staffed the sidewalk in front of La Niña to meet and greet the public and create a buzz about our plans to restore, maintain and sail the ship. We received lots of positive feedback and interest towards the ships. It was a great networking opportunity.
There was particular interest from the past commodore of the Texas Mariners Cruising Association. We may join them in Rockport in the near future to provide them with further information.
Thanks to all the volunteers who took the time to hang out this weekend and to all the future volunteers—we’ll be in touch.

I spent late afternoon and early evening Friday, plus Saturday from 11-5, and we had such a great crowd of people interested in La Niña and her restoration!!!! The apathy and neglect must have been just sleeping, as there are many people behind the plans from today forward....what a bright, busy future we have for our favorite "little girl"....
