Third Friday Speaker Series

2013-05-18T02:00:00Z

The Center for Wooden Boats, 1010 Valley St, Seattle, WA
Friday, May 17, 2013, 7 – 10pm

Each month CWB finds a speaker of wit and experience to talk about his or her special knowledge. It is also an opportunity for CWB members to meet one another and the staff. Admission is free and refreshments are served (donations to cover costs are appreciated).

This Month:
Following their dreams on a tight budget, Wendy Hinman and Garth Wilcox cruised the Pacific on a 31-foot boat for seven years.
Wendy Hinman will share stories and photos from their 34,000-mile Pacific odyssey at our next meeting. The two left in 2000 on a voyage that took them to 19 countries, including Mexico and "Milk Run" stops in the South Pacific, plus the Solomon Islands, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, the Marianas, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Taiwan and Japan. They entrusted their lives to a boat that fit their budget better than Garth's large frame. On their journey, Wendy and Garth discovered that teamwork and a sense of humor were more important than many so-called "necessities" as they faced many "character-building" opportunities.

hey made a long-anticipated visit to the island where Garth was shipwrecked as a teenager, only to find it had become a penal colony. An electronic catastrophe in the Solomon Islands left them without key navigation equipment. To haul and repair their boat on a remote atoll several thousand miles away, they had to devise a means for getting it out of the water. In Asia, they dodged typhoons and ships that threatened to turn their home into kindling. Finally they endured a grueling 49-day passage across the cold North Pacific from Japan to a post 9/11 America they hardly recognized.T

Wendy Hinman is the author of Tightwads on the Loose: A Seven-Year Pacific Odyssey, a lighthearted tale about their seven year voyage. Books will be available for sale at the event.

Her tireless efforts to promote maritime heritage and to foster congeniality among the disparate groups was key to the Maritime Heritage Initiative. Through that, 4Culture worked to establish the Maritime Heritage Alliance, which includes The Center for Wooden Boats, Coastal Heritage Alliance, Historic Seattle, Northwest Seaport, The Steamer Virginia V Foundation, and the Museum of History Industry.
