The gangway creaks as you step aboard a gaff‑rigged schooner, the air carrying coffee steam and the salt of Puget Sound. Sails unfurl and the engine dies; the Bay Lady slips from Pier 66 and the Seattle skyline opens like a compass rose. Mountains frame the horizon, and the water, restless and insistent, nudges the hull as gulls wheel overhead.
