Not only did Bob tell the crowded house a lot of interesting things... he had us rolling in the aisles!! The Scantlingers that I saw there were BobP, Cherie, Alx and me. (Sorry if I missed someone!)
Bob started with the Sliver (AKA: FL. AKA: Francis Lee). He took the crowd through a LOT of beautiful pics of SWIMBO and Kim's lovely boat and even admitted (under close questioning) that FL was "Exactly the sort of boat I love." and "The reason FRANCIS came together so well and so fast is that Kim and I just 'fit', we found we loved the same sort of boats and that's clearly the 'best boat'." and "It helped that I'd known the guy for over 15 years, he knew what he was in for and hired me anyway!"
Bob didn't just knock the cover off the ball with his talk - he ran it through the food processor.
Stories were told of BobP on Stag Cruise at our island.... They will not be repeated here!

Summary: Bob's a great! public speaker!!
