: Situated on Burrard Inlet, Greater Vancouver, B.C., Canada; Barnet Marine
: Park is a popular spot for kayakers to launch. The fine sand beach and
: simple break-water provides a great spot for playing around in boats.

: The day began a little cloudy, but as boats and owners arrived, the weather
: gods were kind to us. Slightly overcast and warm, conditions were perfect
: for viewing, photographing, and even getting a little wet. As the day
: progressed the sun made it's debut and continued to shine throughout the
: social gathering and BBQ that followed.

: Over 20 boats in attendance proves that wooden boat building and the love of
: hand crafting is alive and well and increasingly popular. It was also
: great to see boats arriving from our neighbours to the south, put faces to
: names and make some new acquaintances.

: Thanks to all who attended and participated. Special thanks to Dan Milsap for
: putting together the photo gallery at the link below, something I could
: not have done in such little time. For more photos and info on the boats,
: designers and builders, I have a complete listing with contacts.

: Next year as the event is sure to become larger and more popular, we hope to
: make it a full day event with on-water demonstrations and information
: sessions.

I wish I could have been there. Boats and water and clouds. I remember clouds.

Someone help me get out of this desert!

Would love to be there next year.

Roger
