The Bristol Marina in the Ashley River was host to the Spring Fling Boat Show. This event was in place of the 2009 Charleston In-Water Boat Show that was set to take place this weekend at Brittlebank Park. Due to the current economic environment, Maritime Events director Robbie Freeman decided that conducting the 2009 In-Water Boat Show would be too much strain on an already reeling maritime industry. Maritime Events remains committed to their 10-year contract to present the In-Water boat show, and hopes market conditions will be greatly improved in future years. The Bristol marina Spring Fling welcomed the public to view offerings from dealers like Sea Ray of Charleston, Cape Romain marine of Georgetown and Coastal Carolina Yacht Sales. Boats by Maritomo, Sea Ray, Boston Whaler, Tiara and more were on display and the music of Jimmy Buffet could be heard while walking the docks and enjoying the light breezes. A 38-foot Cruiser Esprit was aptly named Five O'clock Somewhere, reminding folks what Lowcountryoutdoors.com already knows - that spending some time on the water makes one feel a bit more relaxed from the daily grind of today's hustle and bustle. Thanks to The Bristol Marina for bringing folks out to the docks to enjoy the day.
