This past weekend Lisa and I were up early to cross the US border and head to the beautiful town of Port Townsend, Washington to attend the Pocket Yacht Palooza. This was held at and around the Northwest Maritime Center which was the absolute perfect venue for this event. Sixty five trailer boats, mostly but not all wooden construction and sail powered, were on display. I spent several hours there mixing it up with the owners and other enthusiasts while Lisa wandered off to check out the rest of the town.

The Saturday was set aside for static displays while the plan for Sunday was for on the water.

There was one Chebacco boat in attendance - Jamie Orr and his Wayward Lass had sailed over from Victoria to attend.

For any small boat trailer sailor in Southwest BC or the Pacific Northwest the Palooza is a 'must do'. Its our tribe! I'll be back.
