We chose to drive around to Port Orchard and go aboard the historic Mosquito Fleet Vessel, M/V Virginia V. I last rode aboard the Virginia V 24 years ago, for the Bainbridge High Senior Cruise. That was the last time I was aboard.
The boat has been restored and now the bulkheads that used to hide the steam engine are removed and you can see steam engine working. Its pretty cool, but I couldn't get any good picts of it.
The cruise was listed in the Kitsap Sun as leaving Port Orchard at 2 pm, for a one hour harbor cruise. We arrived at 1:25 and they were ready to set sail. We went aboard and paid for our fare, it was around $10 a person. As we left the harbor, the captain welcomed us for the one and a half hour cruise.. oh well, its the first Harbor Fest...
The kids were bored after a half an hour and I was bored after one hour.
After the cruise we went to the Taste of Port Orchard, which was part of the Harbor Fest.
There were maybe 8 booths. We went to Amys on the Bay and they had Oysters grilled in the Shell and Shrimp Skewers. We got a few of each (prices are all $1- $4 dollars. The kids had Pulled Pork Sliders from Moondoggie.

The girls and I went to the First Annual Harbor Festival in Bremerton and Port Orchard. Both sides of the passenger ferry route were full of activities and booths.
