Summerfolk - 2009 - Owen Sound (Lake Huron)

A lot has happened since we rented the cabin along the shores of Lake Erie in July. We returned to the Autumn Borne for about a week, assembed camping gear, and took off with part of the HERD for Lake Huron's Owen Sound, and Summerfolk 2009 (folkfest).

Gar and Sandy Davidson, Kelvin Jones, Bill Pomerhn, and Susan and I were the attendees at the folkfest.







The Owen Sound festival is significanty smaller than the Philadelphia Folk Festival that we had usually attended in the past. Owen Sound is very "laid back", but had GREAT talent. We camped at a KOA on the east side of Owen Sound (about a 15 minute drive to Kelso Beach Park where the festival was held).


It was a beautiful venue, with the main stage amphitheater over looking the water of the Sound, and Georgian Bay (first photo, above).

There were half a dozen stages (aka workshops) going all day Saturday, and Sunday, and three night time concerts on the main stage. The music in the beer tent was great... (last photo).

Summer in New York State 2009

So far the Summer of 2009 has been one of travel, Family, and the start of the required Boat Projects.

We rented a cabin at Lake Erie State park, and had the grandkids, family, friends, and the HERD out. It was a very relaxing time. We left a little early so we could visit Nancy and Darrell (cousin) in Erie, PA, before we split back to the Albany area, and the boat at Catskill.

One of the first projects I wanted to do for the boat is to add an additional raw water filter to the Watermaker system. AND to move the original 5 micron filter to somewhere that we can see it, and change it without crawling under the work bench in the Engine room. So, now they're both on the back wall of the Engine Room... (picture).
