Boats, guns and funny hats

   "Stand tall, don't think small, don't put your back against the wall..."

    This weekend,  the Port Dover Harbour Museum hosts the annual Marine Heritage Festival.   War of 1812 re-enactors, a tall ship, gunboats, a wooden boat show, music, topped by the Battle of the Beach on Saturday night.  What's not to like?


Pictures from last year's event:














     Chirp and Legacy  will be at the wooden boat show at Bridge Yachts.  of course, if Chirp is to be the belle of the ball, she needs a new frock.  With a reasonably favourable weather forecast for the week, the back yard of stately Jones manor was transformed into a boatyard



  She even got a jaunty new cove stripe.


    A quick and dirty varnish job, and she's ready to go.
