As I said in my last post, half of the boats at the Wooden Boat Show last weekend were in the water.
There are always a lot of pretty boats moored here in the Georgetown Harbor and it's a lovely place for a stroll any day.
We came to see the wooden boats early Sunday morning to avoid the crowds. It worked, too. It wasn't crowded at all.
In fact, some of those living on their boats were just getting up to their first cup of coffee.
Felicity is a schooner, built in 1968.
Made from cedar carved planking with a white oak frame, from Charleston
"Karen"
27 feet, built in 1930.
White oak keel and ribs with juniper planking.
Mahogany cabin.
Everything you need, right? -- kitchen with a sink and one-burner stove, living room with comfy chairs, deck on the water, wine hammock, and bedroom below.
I could live here!

I'm wondering if many people live on their boats year-round? The wooden boats are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful craft, lovely workmanship. As you say, the show (life) goes on - but it's still impressive.
ReplyDeleteAbother fun post! I was wondering what was in that little hammock. I think I need one of those! The Karen looks like a comfy place to live. This intrigues me because I've been reading a blog lately written by someone who lives on a sailboat year-round. Thanks for sharing the boat show!
ReplyDeleteOh oh! There might be another move if you like the boats much more!!!
ReplyDeleteKaren would be just perfect for me! What a great bunch of boats:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, not too sure if I could down size enough to live on one. Definitely great craftsmanship.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat to see the variety of boats moored there, and no crowds!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, the wooden boats look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSuch magnificent vessels, Cynthia...the workmanship on these old beauties is amazing. Cynthia this posts stirred some memories that I'd read about a Wooden Boats Festival here in Australia. A quick google confirmed that memory...Wooden Boat Festival Tasmania 😊
ReplyDeletewow all boats are great . You live in the nice part of US
ReplyDeleteAre you tempted to go cruising in one of those beautiful boats?
ReplyDeleteI could never live there in the long run, but for a vacation I'm all for it. I don't know if I could sleep on a rocking boat though.
