About Kaci: WBF Program Description
Circumnavigator, author, NWMC & WBF managing director & Festival director, Kaci resisted owning a boat for a decade, even with the extreme temptations crossing her path every day at the Wooden Boat Foundation. In August 2007, she succumbed to an almost 70 year old Danish double-ender named Pax. In 11 months of restoration, peace (pax in latin) is redefined.

Keynote Speaker at Jefferson Community School
Tonight, Kaci Cronkhite presented Woman of the Wind, with a focus on Eleanor Roosevelt's famous quote "You must do the thing you think you cannot do" for the graduates and matriculates of Jefferson Community School. In addition to slides from the sail around the world, Kaci encouraged the graduates to "dare to do" in more ways than just travel. Dare to travel with your family. Dare to stay calm in dangerous situations. Dare to help people when you don't know their language. Dare to go. Dare to do. Dare to live this way right here in PT, anywhere in the world, or both. It was obvious from the many impressive speeches given by teachers and student, that JCS mission is being accomplished and that these kids, their teachers and their parents "dare to do". "It was an honor to be part of their celebration and to see William Bennett and Phoebe Reid, among other students whose parents I know, reach such impressive milestones and have such tremendous opportunity ahead."

Cronkhite speaks at Port Townsend Chamber lunch
Wooden Boat Festival Director Kaci Cronkhite talks about ways the largest festival in Port Townsend and Jefferson County can and does work with local, national and international businesses. With a playful comparison to a song from the musical Oklahoma, Cronkhite shows how festivals and business "should be friends". Instead of festival crowds being a hardship, local businesses have creatively worked with us to exponentially leverage the branding and potential profits from this iconic Port Townsend event. This lunchtime presentation takes place at Fort Worden Commons, April 14.
