Seabeck Cove

Seabeck Marina -- all that's left from a raging winter storm....

Thursday, June 25 we left Port Gamble in a cloudy bit of drizzle and made our way further down Hood Canal to Seabeck Cove where once there was a marina, but tis no more. A winter storm took it out some years ago and by the time all the environmental & cultural impact studies, state and federal bureaucrats gave the okay to rebuild but by then the investors had been lured elsewhere. Want remains is a great little restaurant, general store, espresso bar and antique/gift shop.

Seabeck - Conference Center
Also, a note to Will & Bree -- this is the likely spot where the Unitarian church camp is in August that you spoke of -- they have a conference facility that is rented to various groups throughout the summer. It is right across the street from the restaurant and grocery store.

Needless to say, with no docks, we anchored overnight and took our new dinghy complete with motor attached to check out the locals. We are VERY lucky -- the motor started the first time -- not having run it since last July 1st which I remember very well because I got a thoroughly soaked bottom in the old dinghy when we were at Lagoon Cove last year. This dinghy landed us safe and dry! After a wander around, coffee and apple pie for Dad in the restaurant, we made our way back to the boat and then off to further adventures down the canal.
