Saturday Today in Bodega Bay there is a Fisherman's Festival. We went along to have a look, it was great fun, lots of craft stalls, as one would expect, live music and lots of seafood. The main event was a boat building competition. Four people, three hours to build it, two races, one winner. Using some plywood and soft wood, using only hand tools and an electric drill, (plus several rolls of duct tape). There were 18 teams and all seemed to be working from a plan. It was good fun to watch. The races themselves were over quite quickly, it was surprising how well constructed the boats were. The race was one by the local firemen, to everybodies delight. We really enjoyed our day out at the Fisherman's Festival.
Great journey from Tombstone, in AZ, to the Napa Valley, in CA...............................................Including Jim and Connie's Party!
What we did!
This is the blog of our 12th Trip to the U.S.A.
On this trip we arrived in March and spent a week with our friends Connie NA Jim at their Bluegrass Party, in Florida.
We then flew to Phoenix, where we collected our rig and then explored Southern Arizona, from the cowboy city of Tombstone in the East, to the desert City of Yuma in the West.
Travelling north along the course of the Colorado river we visited the London Bridge at Lake Havasu before exploring the Mojave Desert, including some more of Rout 66 and Calico Ghost Town.
Moving North West through California we shared in the CBA Bluegrass Campout in Turlock, before visiting Bodega Bay to follow The Birds. After sampling the delights of the Napa Valley we joined in The Fiddle Convention at Cloverdale before storing our rig and returning home after seeing some friends in San Leandro, near San Francisco.
This blog gives a day to day record of many of the things we did on this trip.
