Nice photos! I expect we passed each other more than once without knowing it.

That's for sure. I've been up since four, already looking forward like a kid at Xmas morning, for the (smoky) day ahead.

Wizbang, Row Bird and I are on the dock by the wee nip. I'd love to meet you if you are around. Do stop by oe let me know where to find you.

View from the captains chair on Camas Moon just now as I eat my breakfast and drink coffee. We’ve actually had a sprinkle of rain

Wish I had a chance to meet more people, unfortunately our 2 and 4 year old weren’t terribly thrilled yesterday and with the heavy smoke in the air we didn’t get to stay very long. I got a solid 20 minutes to look at boats lol.

Hoping next year to bring moonbeam over

I was looking for Camas Moon yesterday and didn't find it !!?????

It's at the bottom of the gangway near the wee nip bar

Glad I remembered to get the fenders in!
Stuck around to help clean up Monday morning then motored/motorsailed/sailed down to Kingston for the night. I saw Wonderland heading into Kingston, I think Bruce nabbed a slip, I anchored out. My wife drove up and we had Grub Hut burgers on the beach.

Had my Portage Pram to get ashore, not often I get to see Marianita in the wild.


This Doug Hylan design caught my eye.


As did this on my way home this morning. Eerily windless out there.

I felt happy to have caught the tide for the first half of my motor home especially since my formerly trusty 6hp Tohatsu is having an intermittent fuel supply problem. I put a new fuel pump in on the way up to PT (the lovely Shari came to rescue me in Port Hadlock and Amazon next-day delivered me a new pump). Ran fine until we were within sight of our slip then died. Fortunately it got going again before we ran into a neighboring mega-yacht...

Another thanks everyone for the great pics and video links! It takes a lot of the disappointment away, from not being able to make it this year as planned.

Yeadon is right again, Bruce. Jan's photos really are terrific. Thanks for posting them.

Love the Very Rude. Also love the bright work, though I found it impossible to maintain in our climate.

[dsimonson]

Thanks for all the wonderful photos. I was in my favourite spot on the beach:

This is what greeted those of us who woke up early on Friday morning:



Oh yeah, there were boats too. This is Helma, an immaculately rebuilt 1938 Danish Spidsgatter. A finish that would put a Steinway piano to shame:

[Hugh MacD]

Is Helma the one the Center rebuilt a few years ago and they sold with an empty interior? Beautiful work they did!

Not sure, Hugh. The boat was originally brought to California from Denmark in the 1950's. I didn't get the whole history of the boat since then, in talking to the current owners. I do know that the work that they had done in Port Townsend took 5-6 years. Bits were replaced piece by piece until virtually the whole boat is new wood, except for the cabin top, which is original.
