The Voyages of Saint Bernadette

I found her cast up on the beach near the extreme western end of Young Cove. She was just above the high tide line and it appeared that the barnacles on her hull had not touched the saltwater in years. I decided to take a chance and ask the woman who was washing windows in the house nearby about the neglected 17' Hobie Cat. As it turned out her husband said I could have it. There was no mast or sail but it was mine if I wanted it. It had washed up on another beach in the cove a number of years ago and the owner could not be located. Eventually it ended up, on this shore above most high tides where it was ignored and neglected. Abandoned craft of all kinds litter the 2,000 miles of Puget Sound Shoreline.
