Cleaning Up Leftovers From Wood And Water II
One of my favorite boats of all time! Bob Shapton is the man! – Dane Anderson
What can one say about the epic Woods And Water event that hasn’t now been said a bazillion times on ever social media platform known to mankind. I know many of you don’t use all the platforms, sadly I have to for a multitude of reasons, and its been a visual overload. Like walking through a mall during the Christmas Holidays. Anyway, there is a pile of unseen images on my laptop that where left out because…well..because my head hurt and had to keep some sort of focus. And we all like some scraps to keep us going through the morning after.

Thanks again Matt, Steve, Holly and Dane for keeping us so visually entertained on this Sunday morning!
Enjoy it all while we can. I just hung up a new screwdriver and itching to tell everyone about it! HA
I think Anything related to old boats is worth reading. I enjoy that variety at Woodyboater. Yesterday, I looked at all the amazing photographs then went out to polish my Feathercraft and when I came in, I looked like I’d spent the day working in a coal mine. Loved it.
And some Hammers
Oh, God help us!
Is that a brass headed non sparking hammer I see on the shelf. If not, I may have one for you, that would look at home with the others.
MC’s got nuttin’ on you. Obscure reference for this crowd, I’m sure.
Its gonna be a LONG WINTER
Thank you, Matt, for sharing our fun with all the folks in Woodyboaterville!
Our annual Land O Lakes chapter show, August 23, 2025, will feature race boats at Bar Harbor, many of the boats folks saw displayed in the collections we toured will be seen in the water!
I may be biased but those are some good leftovers! Thanks to all the photographers who captured memories of this amazing week. We are being chased by a boat across Michigan’s upper peninsula, back to reality!
We had fun at the bleacher seats, aka Zorbaz with the 17 feet and under boats. Kinda sad that there were no signs directing spectators at Bar Harbor that 30 more classic boats were a block away at Zorbaz.
Oh! SO many moving parts to planning a week of activities, and it may have been an unfortunate oversight not to have had signage at Bar Harbor indicating a second display at Zorbas. However, live announcements were made both days of the show at Bar Harbor – at approximately 30-min intervals – directing attendees not to miss the other half of “The Show Too Big For Just One Marina”, to be seen over at the Zorbas docks. Attendees could walk the 1/4 mile or take the shuttle busses running every 5-mins or so. Feedback was the foot traffic on the docks at Zorbas was good. We’d perfected the tech to have the same background music & announcements heard at both locations simultaneously, but Zorbas had their own DJ/live entertainment for their regular weekend crowd . . . so our audio link was not used.
