Email this Video to a FriendSo let me take you behind the scenes for how this video came about. I knew Steven and Louise had been in Port Townsend for over a year after the “shakeout cruise” on their new schooner WOLFHOUND. Steven and Louise both know boat yards and marine services as well as any boat owner. I saw Steven on deck as I walked past, he said they were untying within the hour to point the nose of WOLFHOUND southwest toward their home in New Zealand. I hopped aboard, and said: “Let’s stand right here in the sun . . . ok . . . tell me about y’all’s experience bringing WOLFHOUND into Port Townsend.” He paused to adjust to the moment, took a deep breath in, exhaled, and here you go, the first and only take… (Steve)

Thank you so much to everyone at OCH for helping make Pt. Townsend what it is for it takes more than just the people that reside here. Without those interested I wonder what it would be like. As they say in Jamaica “one blood”.
Again we gather and feast

Lovely, lovely interview. If the Gods smile, I want to visit, preferably by water.
Jonathan Lewis says:
He’s right. The vibe in Port Townsend must be similar to being in Florence during the Renaissance. The joy of appreciating masters at their craft! See you Saturday.

Judy and I sailed down to Port Townsend from Orcas Island in July and re-visited everything we love about PTown. And we’ll be coming to the show next Sunday in hopes of catching a glimpse of Talley Ho. Steven Dews captures the essence of the place beautifully. Thanks for this video.

This REALLY makes me want to revisit PT. I haven’t been since 1979’s PT Wooden Boat Festival when I gave a talk about Maine’s Apprenticeshop. It was the first ‘public ‘speech’ I ever made and it went so well they asked to reprise it the next day. As Steven said, the most wonderful and welcoming people.

Such a talented artist, Blue Peter is a superb motor yacht.
