Wooden Boat Show

June 24, 2012

Each year, on the weekend following Father's Day, the Master Mariners Benevolent Association takes over the docks at Corinthian Yacht Club in Tiburon. Their Saturday night annual meeting is followed by Sunday's Wooden Boat Show, an opportunity for the general public to check out the historic vessels and chat with their owners.

When it came time to clear off the docks, all eyes were on Alma, which was wedged in between A and B docks.

Just like extricating a '57 Chevy from a too-tight parallel parking space, Captain Jason Rucker did the back and fill expertly until her front end was clear.
