The overlook

There is a very pretty overlook above the John Wayne Marina with spots for picnics and a sidewalk that opens up to views of the marina and Sequim Bay.

Benches allow wanderers to stop and take in the scenery. In the foreground here is Sequim Bay. In the longer distance is the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

The trees here are glorious in autumn They’re just beginning to turn color now.

Near the breakwater

There was a perfect day late last month when getting out on the water seemed just the thing to do. We went to the John Wayne Marina to have a look.

Sailboats were outside the breakwater in Sequim Bay.

Inside the breakwater other boats were coming and going, many of them returning from a day of fishing.

And, if you’re wondering, yes, the marina is named after that John Wayne. He spent summers boating here and eventually donated the property named after him that became our marina. His family still owns property around the marina.
