...and a good time was had by all. Having only local folk was in no way a hardship for the ears--we've got the best! Thanks, guys!

Plus, this year they revived the boat building challenge and race, and it was a total hoot! For those of you who didn't see it, the object is to build a small boat in one day, any design, and then race them at the end of the day. Only one of the three didn't capsize, but that one actually didn't win! (It's legal to swim around the course, towing you craft--or what's left of it.) The one that capsized first won on points.

Now maybe an instrument-building contest, and play them at the chantey sing...;-)
