The Boat Geeks #41 - Eron Berg, Executive Director of the Port of Port Townsend. Recorded at the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival
Eron wears many hats as he oversees all Port of Port Townsend properties and operations, which include three marinas, one of the largest boatyards in WA, multiple docks, a wharf, boat launches, acres of land housing local businesses, an international airport, and even a farm. He's a busy man!
Recorded on location in the Fisheries Supply "Live at the Wooden Boat Festival Stage" during the 2024 Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival (PTWBF), your hosts Darren and Daeron take a deep dive into the world of boating.
This episode: D&D learn more about the Port in their own backyard, which celebrates it's 100th year. Unsurprisingly, it takes a lot to run it and maintain all the properties. They already knew the obvious things, like the Pt. Hudson breakwater replacement project, the repaving of the airport's runway, and the proposed expansion of the boatyard. But there's so much more to the historic Port of Port Townsend.
