I don't know about you but as soon as the craziness of Christmas and the holidays was over I immediately started thinking about the shore. Can't wait to get back down to the Jersey shore and think about summertime and sand and surf and fun in the sun. Which is why I'm so excited about our next giveaway: tickets to the Atlantic City Boat Show! Two lucky phillyfun4kids readers will each receive a family four pack of tickets to the upcoming Atlantic City Boatshow taking place February 1-5, 2012.
The Progressive Insurance Atlantic City Boat Show returns to its port of call, the Atlantic City Convention Center, February 1-5, to entertain, inform and equip families for a summer on the water. New and experienced boaters are invited to escape the winter chill and bask in the warmth of a 30 percent larger show with hundreds of boats of all types and sizes as well as thousands of boating accessories. And this year there are lots of events appropriate for all ages so the whole family can enjoy the show.
In addition to the swell of boats and accessories, this year’s show provides entertainment for anyone looking to enjoy the boating lifestyle. Visitors can test their maritime moxie in the new Boating Simulator, beat the clock to the dock in the Power Boat Docking Challenge, scuba dive (for real!), and hear riveting tales of rogue waves from a world-famous teenage sailing adventurer, Abby Sunderland.
Highlights of the 2012 Progressive Insurance Atlantic City Boat Show include:
New! Take the Wheel at the Boating Simulator: Visitors can take the helm and experience some of the most ferocious (or tranquil) sea conditions at the interactive Boating Simulator, brought to the show by the Annapolis School of Seamanship. Guests can drive boats ranging from cruise ships to coast guard vessels in lifelike boating settings and any weather condition, all shown on three giant flat screens.
New! Meet Famous Teenage Sailing Adventurer, Abby Sunderland: You may not recognize her name, but you know her story. At age of sixteen, Abby Sunderland set sail in a quest to become the youngest solo sailor ever to circumnavigate the globe, only to be thwarted by a rogue wave that left her lost at sea for two days.
