We’re finally back from the 20th annual WoodenBoat Show held at Mystic Seaport, CT June 24-26. It’s a long drive and at points, a lot of traffic for some country bumpkins to endure but so worth it to see the fantastic work on display at this unique boat show!

Many thanks to the crew of the sail training ship Picton Castle who sent us these pictures of their newly refurbished sailing dory, Sea Never Dry, sailing off Mayreau in the Caribbean. Built by The Dory Shop, this Fishmaker dory has been around the world at least twice, maybe three times, we’ve lost count. Recently the crew got all creative giving her a very customized paint job and sewing a fresh set of sails from cloth purchased during the ship’s call at Dakar, Senegal this past January.
