Wooden Boat Festival: Off the Water
Feb. 19th, 2009 10:50 pmLast 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.)



4 Men + 4500 Miles + 1 Open Boat
Bounty Boat Expedition
Not Enough Food + No Charts + No Toilet Paper
Don McIntyre, Chris Bray & You?



"Takeapunt", 12' plywood fishing punt

Community boat building: boat building for anyone.


"A traditionally built Baidarka frame, constructed by Patrick Livens from plans in the The Aleutian Kayak by Wolfgang Brinck," King Billy pine & willow.

Marine Conversation Display: Sperm whale skull

Skulls from a pygmy sperm whale (left) and an elephant seal

Nebari, 11' peddle powered canoe, plywood


Some of the model boats on display.




That one looks familiar.




And at the end of the day... sitting beside the water with a quiet drinking

while listening to a noisy concert. :)
