Sequim Bay, originally uploaded by wildestseas.

If it is possible to visit Sequim Bay in the coming months, do so. Take a walk along the western edge of the bay on the Olympic Discovery Trail. Bring or rent a kayak, and get out on the water at dawn. Sail or motor to the John Wayne Marina for a weekend.

Breathe deeply. Relax.

It is true that he sailed more than once into Sequim Bay, and that he dreamt of creating a marina there. Eventually, his dream came true on 22 acres along the northwestern edge of Sequim Bay donated by the Wayne Family.

The marina has been in business since 1985. It is an easy cruise from Seattle, Victoria, Port Angeles, Port Ludlow, and the San Juan Islands. Guest moorage is usually available, and the marina is a beautiful place to spend a night or a few days. There is an excellent restaurant at the marina, the Dockside Grill on Sequim Bay. It is an ideal place to enjoy a delicious northwest cuisine, inside or out on one of the decks.

If you enjoy kayaking, the peaceful waters of Sequim Bay provide an excellent opportunity for that. Check out the John Wayne Marina the next time you sail or drive to Sequim. You’ll be happy you did.
