We discovered the Wooden Boats Festival from the ferry timetable - more ferries during the Festival. But it's a fairly broad event - from boats to boat building to music about the sea and boats, and ropes, sails, wooden paddleboards and even some wooden bicycles. It fitted in to our schedule nicely since it is Guy's birthday and so fun to do something different. The most impressive boat visited was a wooden ship called Air Snipe that had been a u-boat destroyer in WW2 and had even captured an atoll in the Pacific during the war. It had a small crew whose bunks looked mostly just too small. A mass of electrical equipment to communicate and detect, along with a small cosy (or cramped) mess to eat in. The textures of wood were standard in those days and now look beautiful - especially compared with the fibre glass and plastic modern boat. Some of the more recent boats were a bit too "ideal home' - I found I was admiring the kitchen equipment and plush carpet. A touch of a yacht or motor show. We spent a good while listening to live music - Tania Opland was the most remarkable. Do violins need to have a sounding box or electric amplification? Of course - no. She played what appeared to be half violin, half gramophone - the tubes expanding the sound produced by the bow - see the photo. Dulcimer and various unusual stringed instruments too - plus guitar. And a very enjoyable variety of songs and tunes. Time and Tide provided the traditional seasongs you would expect - the audience tried to join in but not as good as The Ship at Fishguard. The group included the English concertina hooray! I am looking forward to a return to music. There is a Port Townsend brewery - their stout ('There she brews!' on the label) was an excellent smokey stout drunk with dinner. But tomorrow we'll head towards Seattle. We are here.
