Saturday, July 27, 2013:  The annual Whitefish Chain Antique and Classic Wood Boat Rendezvous was held at Moonlight Bay at the north end of Crosslake, Minnesota.
This is just a small portion of the classic wooden boats on display that day.
 
Lots of fun names on the boats too.
 

This boat had a full bar.

Who could ask for more?

 
There was even a classic duck boat complete with camouflaged outboard motor.

It had a duck call too.

 
Then there was the Tolka. 

It is from 1928 and was built at the Alexander Graham Bell Labs in Nova Scotia, Canada.

 
No expense was spared in building and later rebuilding of this one-of-a-kind classic.

Restored to its former glory, it is beautiful.

 
Luxury was the name of the game.

Restoration efforts were helped greatly by movies that were taken of it back in the 1930's.

Plenty to see at the snow including these beautifully hand-crafted paddles.

Even the Whitefish Chain Bear was there.

Then there were the high-speed runs through Moonlight Bay. 

A real crowd pleaser.
Quote of the day:  Always fun to see the Crosslake Boat Show.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
