In this special edition of Our Working Waterfront we visit the Second Annual Boatyard BBQ, to celebrate the return of our Fishing Fleet and the 100th anniversary of the Port of Port Townsend. There was a delicious salmon dinner along with music and dancing. Captains and their crews, shipwrights and apprentices, the old and the young, longtime residents and new folks in town, all mingled beneath early-evening rainbows, a Salish wind, and the colored lights from the Travel Lift Stage well on into the night. We bring you sounds, music and stories from this magical time that brought out the true spirit of our Port Townsend community.
