The Bluegrass Chapter of the ACBS just had its one annual show, and my wife and I attended it for the first time as woody boat owners. (We bought a 1949 Greavette at Antique Boat Center last winter) I shot a few photos over the weekend, and thought I might offer them to you to use if you’re really scratching hard for content. ( NOTE TO BRYAN, WE ARE ALWAYS SCRATCHING HARD FOR CONTENT) The photos are captioned in their File Info areas.

Great shots!
“Boatin’ Bryan”
There was a guy named Lazenby who played James Bond. The spelling is close enough for Woody Boater so how about Bryan “James Bond’ Leazenby
Looking closer at “Time Machine” August 23rd is my sons Birthday. (a little later than 1967 though)
It is amazing how often the number combination of 823 comes up.
Bluegrass Boat Beat Bryan… or B4 for short!
Because… Bluegrass Bureau, Boat Beat Bryan (or B5) is just too long.
Bluegrass Bryan
Banjo Bryan. Bluegrass…banjo…get it?
Maybe the banjo thing is not such a good idea….
I joined Bryan’s first and last names and came up with ‘Breazenby’
keep m com’n ya’ll!
Great photos ! Definitely a “10”.
Thus “10-a-SEE” Bryan.
Well done.
“BLUE-BOY”
“BLUE-BUOY”
“GRASS-MAN”
Feels like a group of kids trying to figure out a nickname for the new kid in the neighborhood. LOL Ok since it’s all sweet water there we could call him “Nosalt”
There was a James Bond played by actor George Lazenby and Mr. Bryan Leazanby is close so perhaps a few mixes with with James Bond stuff and Leazanby and the Bluegrass bits…
Woody Galore
There is M and Q, so maybe just B
Bluefeld (SPECTRE bad guy Blofeld and Bluegrass)
Old Number #7 (Tennessee whiskey and SPECTRE dudes)
wait. wait. wait. I got it – instead of Goldfinger….
VARNISHFINGER !!
I smell Victory with that last one….
OH! Now its getting interesting. I love it! This is making my day!
By the way, Goldfinger was set in Kentucky with the horses and Fort Knox and all that…
As a side bar, I kept wonering why I love that Dorsete so much. BAm, designed by Raymand Loewy one of my all time favorite designers! DAMMMMMM! Tow it with your Avante. Get gas at Shell.. While drinking a coke and smoking a pack of Lucky strikes. http://jetsetmodern.com/loewy.htm
My favorite “Tennessee” character comes from the first movie I saw in a theatre…
In the movie, “Tennessee” had a kindrid relationship with vehicles (and Irish coffee) not to mention meditation and the order of the world.
Maybe “Buddy Boater” would fit as a spin on this thinking?
The Kentucky Wonder!!
Great pic’s BTW 😉
” Kentucky Wonder ”
And a great time was had by all, not there Friday but Saturday weather was perfect with a lot of really nice boats, Thanks to Mr. Leazenby for the report.
