  show must check in at this dock and provide a Be My Guest
  Ticket for each attendee to a NMMA staff member.
• This dock is also being used for the BOATUS On-the-water
  Training PROGRAM – So access is extremely tight and limited to
  drop off and pick up only.

QUESTIONS?
Can I change my move in time? If your vessel is located inside the primary grid every boat
needs to be on the time and date specified. Sea Trial Vessels and Vessels outside the
primary grid should arrive at their designated time. Please contact Scott Cohen if you have
any questions about your target time.
Why cant I run Fisherman's Channel? This is a binding part of our operational permit with
DERM. Anyone running the channel that is participating in the show is violating the terms
of the agreement and will be dismissed from the show.
What if I want to Sea Trial my boat and do not have a Sea Trial Pennant? Confirm with
Scott Cohen that you have contracted for a Sea Trip Slip. Only vessels contracted for Sea
Trial Slips are provided the proper credentials.
Can I bring my own tent? No, all structures and tents have to be permitted and installed
by EventStar.
Can I use my Sea Trial boat as a Staff Shuttle? Yes, but you must confirm this with NMMA
Staff and we will provide you with the proper access credentials. All staff arriving by boat
must check in at the T-Dock on PIER 1.                                                    22
