We are going to the Blues Festival!

Yesterday we took our boat downtown and anchored it just offshore from the site of the upcoming Portland Blues Festival. We had about 10 knot winds, and it was quite a process trying to get anchored cross-ways to the wind -- we put out 5 anchors, plus tied one line to a friend's floating dock:

The festival will begin this coming weekend and run through the 4th of July. We are about 175 feet from the stages, where there will be 150 separate acts in 5 days. Our weather is great (will be in the 80's), and we will ferry a bunch of people on and off the boat using Jim's runabout. Should be a lot of fun. We will spend a few nights aboard for the first time.

In case anyone wants to see the music schedule, it is here:

Best wishes, Curt...
