Port Townsend Boat Show

In September W. and I went to Port Townsend for The Wooden Boat Show. We took the 3 o'clock ferry and did the drive from Port Angeles. W. ate a nasty hot dog, like one from a carnival, covered in tin foil. We saw whales when we were sitting outside. I felt that it was so much better to see them when we weren't out searching for them. They were an unexpected surprise. It was a gorgeous hot weekend.

The drive was beautiful. I didn't take any pictures, I was too busy being anxious to make it in time to see Lin and Larry Pardey. We went to their talk on the Friday night, and then to every other one they gave. We were a bit late because it began at 7 but I thought it was at 7:30. They were fantastic. It was awesome to meet them and to listen to people who seem to think similarly to us. We camped in our car in the fairgrounds. The first night was great. We bought a $17 bottle of wine for $7, but it wasn't even worth that. We ate cheddar chips and drank wine in the back of the car. Awesome.

 I kind of wish that we were sleeping in this...

Or this, I would love to live on this boat...

This building wasn't there the last time we went to the boat show. It was W.'s heaven inside. Wood, and gorgeous tools everywhere.

After taking pictures of this boat we met a man who was with his extremely adorable granddaughter who has one of these boats. We hope to see him next year when we go back to the Boat Show.

This is my favourite picture from the weekend. I had such a good time. Lin and Larry were exactly how I pictured them from reading their books. We bought Bull Canyon for ourselves, and one for W.'s parents. I still haven't finished my copy because I am so busy with school. Which is what i should be doing right now!!!

But first I want to try to add a video from this weekend. It was a beautiful night, and I don't want to forget it.

Just mute the sound. Next time I'll be fancy and add music.
