The 20th annual Kachemak Bay Wooden Boat Festival is here in a month.  All the pieces in play for months now come together on the 6, 7, 8, and 9th of September. We’ve got a great festival planned for our 20th celebration. We’re honoring the 73’ M/V “Waters,” which, like the Boat Society itself, has had its ups and downs over the years. She was built for the army by Stephens Brothers in Stockton, CA in 1943 of 2 ½” Douglas Fir planking over bent oak frames.

Her original designation was USA ST (small tug) 413. After the war she was transferred to the Federal Aviation Agency, renamed the Fedair III, and survived sitting for 5 years, and through a succession of owners, until being purchased by John Rogers and converted for charters and bear watching tours. She has great tugboat lines and has warm and comfortable accommodations.  We are planning to have her open for tours. More info at the Festival.
