Originally we were having it in Newport, RI the weekend of the Jazz festival. It was well attended for those years. Three years ago we were blessed with SBFT just off Newport.

Two years ago some members felt it would be good to change it to Cape Cod. It was pretty well attended, but there were few Cape Cod members there. The next year it fizzled.

I had a schedule conflict and could not attend, but can also say that compared to RI in July, there are far fewer fishing venues, public ramps and other conveniences for traveling boaters. Maybe that has an effect.
