SALMON JOURNEY VII – FREYJA SAILS TO DESOLATION SOUND – LEW & KEN AT THE HELM

1 Comment / ARCHIVES, JOURNEYS /

Before joining Ken’s, Lew’s, and Freyja’s journey from Edmonds to Desolation Sound, two points need to be made. The first is well known: A boat is the nearest thing to a living being that people can make with their hands.  The second is: When you are at sea for more than three days, the boat and the sea become your world.

Ken’s life wasn’t going all that well when he became a partner in Freyja in 1985. Freyja wasn’t doing all that well either after I returned to commercial fishing in the 1980’s. And so, for a brief few years, Ken together with his friends George and Lew formed a partnership with Freyja and prepped her for Ken and Lew to sail to Desolation Sound.

I am quite certain that when Ken and Lew hoisted the sails in Admiralty Inlet, the breeze filled the sails, Freyja’s hull lifted and took flight with the birds. Perhaps it took less than three days for Freyja’s world to become their world.

After an updating of the Grimm’s tale, CINDERELLA,  Dave returns to the NESTER with another updated story from the past, THE THREE LITTLE. PIGS.  The story, familiar to all of us. continues today to be an often told tale. Originally an English fairy tale, the story first appeared in print in the 1840’s.  The story, however, dates much further back than the 19th century.

We soon found our neighbors friendly, helpful and ready to enjoy spontaneously  gathering together for  afternoon happy hours, potlucks, and conversations about our community, PONDEROSA.  Within a few months we became involved with the PONDEROSA COMMUNITY CLUB and our circle of friends grew to include property owners through out the community.  We were on our way to becoming “locals.”
