2017 Festival of Sails

So just like that, the 2017 Festival of Sail is over! We can’t wait until the official attendance gets published, accurate or imagined, but our bet is the three-story rubber duck played a big role in the crowd draw for the event. Mysteriously, several other non-sailing vessels were featured in the event as well - go figure! The actual sailing vessels attending were definitely the local classics, the usual suspects, and the eternal imprint of Pacific Northwest finery. Weather conditions could have been better through the four–day event, but by and large, Mother Nature cooperated. All in all (financials notwithstanding), a grand event worth having again! Enjoy these photos – I sure enjoyed capturing them!
