This week we head over to Granville Island, Vancouver for the Vancouver Wooden Boat Festival and then head north for our summer cruise. A great summer break from wooden boat restoration.
Every week I'll also introduce a beer of the week, sharing some of my favorite, and not so favorite beers.
Travels With Geordie T shirts!
I've set up an online store where you can pick up the Travels With Geordie T shirt in all sizes, even toddlers!

Travels With Geordie. A weekly video series about wooden boat restoration and liveaboard life for Peter Knowles and his dog, Geordie.
My day job is design and 3D visualization of custom homes.

Some viewers may be interested in some previous videos about Land Rovers. They're at my previous channel, Riverport Rovers.

Here is the build series about my truck. A rather modified Series II Land Rover.

I rather silly build and road trip to the famous Land Rover Winter Romp in Maine.

A slightly less silly road trip to Cape Breton that does involve painting flames on a Land Rover.

The series that started it all. A crazy plan to build a Land Rover in one day from assorted bits lying around.

There's a few other videos that might be of interest at Riverport Rovers including the beginning of a Boler trailer refit.

Granville island looks incredible. So does Vancouver, from that side. I love it.

As an australian older than forty and still just less than fifty that Beachcombers theme triggered some long-dormant memories! Thanks!

How did I get sucked in to your damn stink pot videos?? Man you guys have some beautiful boats. I like how you like to tear apart the crap to reveal the original wood, flaws and all. That is cavalier, sir. Much respect.

Heh, beautiful boats are beautiful boats, canvas or diesel...Thanks so much.

@@TravelsWithGeordie you know I'm just kidding watching reruns is cool 😎 because it has inspired me to use my one talent to realize that to set up the out side radius line of the cabin top you know that lovely curved cabin edge will be in a glue up jig so it can be clamped and then the outside radius can be shaped and sanded if the wood needs replaced in dry dock is where it will need to be done ya way spendy so I'm hoping for the best. Good day I say and Cheers

On radiusing the edges of your Timbers the softer the edge the less the bruise in ruff seas!!! Better a small bruise than a contusion!!! Or broken body part!!!

Heh, this is true. Oh but to sacrifice style for safety? I don't know.

I am curious how a stern tie is achieved in that rough terrain. Maybe one day you can include that in a video.

My wife’s a Newfie and will often say chock-a-block full. Also her pronunciation of Saturday has no “t” in it. I’ve been to Victoria and the marina near Parliament. I had a “salty” looking boat for 11 years. It was a 22 foot C-dory cruiser. I always said that just the look of it made folks think you knew what you were doing. Same holds true for your boat. I sure like the sound of that diesel.

Hi Gary, a Newfie wife and a salty boat. You're a lucky man.

Travels With Geordie Do you know the song, Lukey’s boat? She changed it to Gary’s boat and would sing it to me on occasion.
