This post is dedicated to Dennis, a future sailboat skipper
We've had 11 straight days of sunshine (yes, a Washington record for May) and we took advantage of the weather to head downtown to the Port of Olympia to the wooden boat festival.
The Port, at low tide, with the wooden boats along the way. They were pretty nice and the owners had great pride in them.

Just some of the local spice out here at the festival. This older gent was just out pandhandling and he was pretty good. Note the other gent sacked out next to the shopping cart. Just another day downtown.
The capitol, park, and tents....
I can't resist a good corndog with mustard! Perfect crunch too.
Schaef likewise cannot resist some good kettlecorn.
That is the Boy Scouts of America Puget Sound sailboat! It was really cool. I only wish we could've seen it full sail.
The Capella. I liked this one because Capella means 'chapel' in Romanian :)
When Schaefer is wearing a dress you know the weather is good! You can't tell but the wood is emaculately polished and prepared.
There is just something cool about being at the helm. Notice the Garmin. I'm guessing a ship out on the ocean is the best scenario to have GPS.
Aboard the Boy Scout ship. This is the captains quarters. Possibly slightly larger than a closet. Pretty tight spaces underneath the deck.
A wood sailboat.
Full 360 views with this one.
My personally sponsored boat
The most beautiful first mate.... er, Captain anyone could have.
Our favorite boat, Winifred. The picture doesn't show you the details well, but this was a beautiful and roomy boat.
The Winifred from above (the further boat). Makes me want to go on a boat adventure!
If you look closely you can see Dennis and Stephanie on their boat ready to sail the world.
We're ready to sail the Puget Sound! What a great weekend of sunshine we had out here!
WOW!!! That is so cool you guys have had such great weather lately!!! I love how you are always wanting to get out and explore. That is something that has really helped us to love being in Texas. I love all those wooden boats, so cool! And I love the dog on walker! That was hilarious! And I LOVE the Bennion's. I don't know them, but I love that they are taking care of you and have adopted you! THAT really makes a huge difference in your experience, doesn't it? Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteFun day, great to see the pictures of your adventures. Keep up the blogging! So many cool boats, Dad would have loved it. . .and the corndog too! The band sounds like it was a classic to watch. And like Cami said. . .the dog on the walker! Fun times, life is rich and full. Glad you had some sun and took full advantage of it.
ReplyDeleteLove it and now that I know Schaef loves Kettle Corn that is just one more reason to love her.
