CWB - Cama Beach Small Boat Saturday

Posted by: lyndon

Andrew Washburn at CWB - Cama Beach is to be congradulated.  He not only put together a wonder Small Boat Saturday event this past weekend; but also, he has done a great job with the CWB Cama Beach facility.

The Small Boat Saturday enjoyed fine weather, great workshops, and, of course, several small boats you could sail, row, or just sit there and stare at some beautiful small boats for the whole morning.   It was heaven if you are a small boat nut.  And, there were several nuts there!  I especially liked Glenn Woodbury with the Lamberson Skill and Rich Kolin who built Heidi and presented a very informative workshop on planes, sharping tools, and making oars.  Unfortunately, I did not stay for the other two workshops.  And, most likely, I missed something because there were plenty of people at the Dale McKinnon workshop featuring building the boat Bella.

It was a fun & interesting day.  CWB joined with the TSCA folks to sponsor the event.  And TSCA President Randy Jones was on hand to help sailors put their boat into the water.  You can see Randy on this web site in the Photo Gallery and elsewhere.  We have several pictures of him, his boat, and other TSCA members at the Annual ACMC Bowman Bay summer picnic.

Anyway, I encourage everyone to visit Andy at the CWB - Cama Beach facility.  If you like, you can stay overnight in one of the cabins (reservation through the state park people) or simply spend the day looking at the neat boats; and perhaps, you might like to rent a boat.  Andy and his team have done a wonderful job in making this former resort a haven for small boats...we really need to support them.
