Wooden Boat Wednesday February 9
Lawrence Cheek presents:
“Unexpected things occur as you build a boat – the teachings of a Wooden Sailboat,” noon – 1:30 pm, no charge. Writer Lawrence Cheek will share
his humorous, character-building stories that have grown out of building two sailboats. Listening to his colorful storytelling manner, you’ll laugh with him as he re-lives his emotional tidal waves of elation and discouragement, shimmering visions of detailed boat plans and unending acres of tedious sanding, and newfound reservoirs of patience and perseverance. His book The Year of the Boat
details his agonies and triumphs of building a 13’ sailing dinghy in his garage within a self-imposed deadline of one year. At the Wooden Boat Chandlery
NW Maritime Center & Wooden Boat Foundation, call (360) 385-3628 x101.
Let us put the romance back into
your sunsets!
