    Whatever happened to GradyFest?

    I was wondering the same, we had our tickets purchased , hotel reservations made all set ready to go. Then it was cancelled, yes we got the refunds , Grady was very helpful in that regard. Sure would be nice if it ever came to happen here on the East Coast.

    Congratulations on your new Grady. My first Grady was a 1969 16' Pamlico, purchased in 1980 made her a fishing machine for Long Island sound. Sold her in 1996. That boat sold me on Grady's forever. Good Luck and enjoy.
