Boatworks; Chesapeake Log Canoes, Bone Fish, and Wood, Water, and Light

Maryland Public Television · 1997

A fleet of historic dugout log canoes is still kept in fine shape and actively raced by a club of Chesapeake log canoe enthusiasts. Join club members for an invigorating race and informative interviews about the log canoes' past and present. In the waters of Rolletown Flats in the Bahamas, the elusive bone fish is extremely wary and a prized game fish. With uncanny grace, local sport fisherman Garth Thompson shows us the art of poling the flats to catch bone fish with a fly rod. Every year Benjamin (Benji) Mendlowitz publishes his Wooden Boat Calendar which has become a favorite holiday gift among wooden boat enthusiasts and folks who just like pretty pictures. Join Benji as he photographs a wooden boat regatta in Maine. Boatworks is a thirteen-part PBS series focusing on boating and the boating world.
