Wooden Boat Festival and John Steinbeck's "Western Flyer"

                               Early morning on the first day of Port Townsend's best festival.  

The Western Flyer,  the boat that John Steinbeck and Ed "Doc" Ricketts took to Baja California and whose journey was chronicled in "The Log from the Sea of Cortez" had been at the bottom of the Puget Sound for some time and is now being restored here.   Have a look.........

 There was some very nice paella served, too!

                        A perfect ending to the festival with a glass of wine on the Vito Dumas
