Seattle Boat Show purchases

We just spent three days at the Seattle Boat Show mostly attending some really great, free seminars on sail inventory, rigging, radar, pc navigation, weather, etc. We also did a little gathering of info on things we need to purchase and even bought a few things. We "splurged" on a custom mattress that we should receive in about 3 weeks. The salesman is at our boat right now measuring and making a pattern to send to the factory. We can't wait until it arrives! Hopefully our backs and hips will be much happier also! We also bought a life raft. We weren't really planning to do that yet but we can push out the actual purchase for a year (with just a $100 deposit) and can probably delay that even further so we thought we'd go ahead now. We bought a Winslow Offshore Plus which is a very reputable life raft manufacturer. A bit pricey but if we ever need it we should be very happy we spent the money on it! The salesman is the VP of the company and part owner and was really great to talk to. He threw in a number of options at no charge like an inflatable floor (that looked like a mattress), storage pockets, and even an upgraded fishing kit and waterproof playing cards :) I posted pictures below of the mattress and the life raft.
