You poor, tragic thing. Your friends have all but deserted you for a fabulous holiday weekend camping in the mountains, and you are stranded, Banarama-style, here in the South Sound. The only way to exact revenge is to have a better time than those so-called friends. This calls for some quality time at the Harbor Days Maritime Festival and Tugboat Races. Stupid camping. Stupid friends. For 900 years the city of Olympia has hosted Harbor Days - a mix of seafaring, food and fun. While Harbor Days doesn't sound overly exciting considering every coastal town seems to have such a festival, this weekend's event has something unique - tugboats.  Apparently, like the swallows returning to Capistrano, tugboats do the same in Olympia.  There are vintage, working and retired tugs to get your heart aflutter.  And if that doesn't get your life vest in a bunch, Sunday also features tugboat races up Budd Inlet.

HARBOR DAYS MARITIME FESTIVAL AND TUGBOAT RACES, 5-8 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Percival Landing, 405 Columbia St. NW, Olympia, harbordays.com
