Boat Show!
Blackbeards had a boat show!
Yesterday was a classic and antique boat show here at Blackbeards. There
were a lot of very nice old motorboats and a couple nice classic sailboats.
We loved the old Chris Craft motoboats with their mahagony decks and slick
varnish. There were also a lot of little wooden outboards with the most
amazing antique motors. We had a lot of people visit the boat and in the
late afternoon went for a two hour sail. We met a lot of really cool people
and got a lot of good advice on our teak decks.
The last few days we have been getting the boat ready for our sail south and
generally preparing the boat for company. We can't get the power to work at
the dock because the GFCI here does not support a reverse y cable.
The last week Sam and I spent working on the old wooden boat that we are
volunteering to help repair. It's a lot of fun and we're learning a lot
about wooden boat construction and repair techniques. I wish I could say
more but perhaps in the future.
