Friday evening we drove to Port Townsend for the Wooden Boat Festival where hundreds of boats, some new, some restored, filled the harbor. We were amazed at the incredible craftsmanship as well as the wide range of designs on display. Everything from kayaks, to working vessels, to schooners, and much more.
Small harbor. Lots of boats.
Small boat. Lots of wood.
All different shapes and sizes.
This one had some interesting decorations.
This wooden boat had room for a wooden chair.
Labors of love, all.
On Saturday, we headed out on Sun Break to Port Ludlow for our first Beneteau Rendezvous. Thirty other Beneteaus (with owners) were there.
We arrived just in time for the margarita party.
A local marine service company provided a unique "blender" for the margaritas. It was fashioned from a marine bow thruster. It made great margaritas!
We made a lot of new friends at dinner on Saturday night.
After dinner, there was a slide show presentation by the crew of Red Sheilla, a Beneteau 49, who recently returned from completing an offshore race from Victoria, B.C. to Maui.
We picked up the 2010 Beneteau Rendezvous burgee and a couple of T-shirts as souvenirs.
There is just no better way to spend a weekend then to spend it in and around boats!
