A never seen before photo of literally tons of barrel backs all together! – Photo Steve Natale
What can be said other than just…WOW! This years big Tahoe Concours d’Elegance has started, and man o man a chevitz, its stunning. With a massive collection of Barrel Backs in a historic setting is PERFECT! This year the big event takes place down, the lake from Sierra Boat Co. to Obexer’s Boat Company one of the, if not the oldest Marina on the lake, with a rich history of mahogany goodness. This year we are fortunate enough that Don Ayers, Hamster and Steve Natale have sent in some early shots of the event getting set.

Also, for the first time in history.. I think, you can watch the boat show LIVE, right here, thanks to the web cams set up at Obexer’s Boat Company.. It aint Game of Thrones, until the judging starts… But this way you can have your pal wave at you while you sit on your aft in Toledo eating Ribs! DON’T drink the water though. Below is the live feed from the big show! big thanks to Tahoetopia.com for the feed!
If you are done watching, yes I know, it’s mesmerizing, here are some nice photos from the guys. And if you stare at them long enough, things move.. Or maybe that’s my eye floaters..
What a stunning setting!
This looks like a photo taken in the 50’s Amazing.
Its all about the details
Orange Crate is ready to show of her Orangeness!

There must have been some very tricky docking involved to get all those jewels tucked in that close. Keep the eye candy coming! Thanks.

Au contrare, aren’t all our boats highly maneuverable in reverse? 🙂

If you are in Toledo, you should keep driving, you are really close to Michigan. Barring that, MAYBE have a dog and some pickles at Tony Packo’s.
Personally, I have a less exciting day planned than a trip to Ohio or watching a live cam of nothing moving.
You see, Humpty m-fine took Tobler out for a late night nature call.
Humpty m-fine had a great fall. 🙁
Today, all the kings horses and all the kings men will try to put m-fines knee back together again.
If the surgeons fail, I am going to send a picture of my leg to Matt and see if he can photoshop the kneecap back to the front where it belongs. Always good to have a plan B right?
Rick
Can we get live cam in the surgical suite? Maybe a drone if you don’t think it will distract the surgeons? Good luck and fast recovery.

I bet their malpractice lawyers would have a stroke at the thought of video in the OR!
The good news is I should be released by early afternoon. The bad news is I will be back online posting comments under the influence of potent painkillers.

Nothing worse than being immobilized especially if you can’t reach the cooler. Use some of that Ice for the knee M-Fine.
Mark
I want to be there!!!!!!!!!!
It’s no green lake, WI!

Can’t make the connection work. Is this another case of Apple indifference? Using iPhone.

We spent several hours trying to trick this into working. The feed is not a sharable file. The code we got kept wyping out the page, so we tricked it into working. And sadly mobile veiwing aint working, most likely because of flash? Or some sort of file that type.. I have no idea, its a first though and fun right now to watch the sun rise of Lake Tahoe..
Wilson
Impressive photography…Keep it coming
Rick
The live feed is working great but nobody is moving around. Come on guys on the East Coast we’ve already been at work for a couple of hours.

Well done, Matt. It’s almost like I’m there. Uh…wait, I am here. Maybe later we’ll assemble a cast of Woodyboaters to do a performance in front of the camera…..stay tuned!!

First person to capture a video of Mike mooning the live feed wins a 6 pack of Oberon on me!

Fresh Oberon on tap

Maybe it only accepts bottles

Live feed must be limited to only android?

Smashing it of the park fellas. Wooooohoooooooo.

Out of surgery, doc says I can’t drive a boat for a couple weeks.
Greg Lewandowski
You can’t always listen to those doctors!
m-fine
My daughter got her license this year, so I don’t necessarily have to be the one driving!
Brian Flaherty
As the great Willie Nelson once said, “there’s more old drunks then there are old doctors. So I guess we’ll have another round”.
Now just because you can’t drive a boat, doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t be on a boat… Right?

Love the “Crate” – a flatbottom with a woody deck, hell yea. Ride is going to be a little bumpy with that bottom design and that’s on a mill pond.

Too bad our boat (BK Powell’s 1930 Dee Wite, Winner of Pre War Runabouts Under 23′, shown with green interior above) was hit by the Tahoe Yacht Club’s President at the start of the parade! Damage to ours and the Garwood behind us…..:( See video on Youtube..Tahoe 2014 Wooden Boat Show Mishap
