After landing in Olympia and doing an extensive haulout, Sky and I parked both Nomadness and Dervish at West Bay Marina… having a go at exploring home-base alternatives and otherwise trying to decide what next. I had tired of Oak Harbor, logistics of living on Camano Island weren’t making sense, and the correct formula had not yet materialized. Somewhere in September, I explored an ill-fated business plan involving the Everett Marina, so I decided to move the boat back north. My friend Dave Robb, always stalwart and capable crew, joined me for the voyage… and these are the best of his photos from the 2-day trip (with overnight layover in Gig Harbor).
