Wooden Boat Festival: Off the Water

[xenith]

Last one :)



Lots to look at, of course, with displays of boats in all sizes and form, and other m marine & maritime topics; but also films to watch, music to listen to, thing for sale, and all manner of things to eat and drink. (We had fish & chips from one of the nearby floating fish shops, followed by a Derwent Clear Ale, which was rather nice. I bought it, came back and started to drink before I remembered I can't stand beer, usually.)
