Toledo Wooden Boat Show 2009

Toledo, Oregon, USA is Doryman's home port, so this little show has personal resonance.

A good time was had by all in the summer sun. We would like to share it with you!

Apologies to any who were not documented. The cruising dory Mistral and Sweet Sixteen, the Thistle racing dingy shared the far end of the dock, so Doryman was continuously entertained by visitors, in slow traffic, on the cul-de-sac.



Good fun, great music, yummy food, beautiful boats, incredible weather, lots of great people --- isn't that what life's all about?

Thank you, all who participated. And the rest of you, wish you'd been there!

Depoe Bay Wooden Boat Festival 2009

It was a fine spring weekend in the tiny Oregon harbor town of Depoe Bay (named for Chief Depoe of the Siletz Indian tribe) for their annual small craft boat show.

Doryman was there with the bateau Huckleberry, the skiff Paku and the Thistle racing dingy Sweet Sixteen.

A good time was had by all in the spring sunshine (a rare item this time of year on the rainy coast of Oregon).

More of this event to come in the days ahead! Stay tuned...
