The better known boat show this weekend will be the Palm Beach Boat
Show; large yachts, fancy new fiberglass, blah blah blah. This far into the boat show season there isn’t
much to be seen that is original. There
is another show this weekend, one that has a little more character. Check out the Sunnyland Antique Boat
Festival. The Sunnyland Festival is the world’s
largest antique boat show in the world.
Beyond the vast amounts of beautiful classic boats there is a nautical flea
market, a “field of dreams” with boats for sale, and there will also be sea
planes and steam locomotive rides available.

There is enough spar-varnish there to cover the state of Florida with three coats! Who doesn't love a classic wooden boat. The tune on the video is pretty catchy. Can anyone identify who performed it?
