b'The MariTrends 2023 exhibit floor hosted cocktail hours, lunches, and lunch and learns, but was also the setting for Fridays Passenger Vessel Foundation (PVF) Region Competition. Teams of up to 20 people FOGHORN FOCUS from each region had to don life vests, follow the winding dock path marked on the floor, and safely get their members into the inflatable buoyant apparatus (IBA).
