Letters


youngsters and later spent many New Year’s Eves cruising to Port Ludlow. This group sometimes included John Adams, Don Fassett, Miles McCoy, Bill Watts, Bill Payne, Doug Fryer, Jack Kutz, Howdie Springer and others. In 1993 Carl and Joanne “Jo” Bailey cruised


Scheherazade north through Nakwakto Rapids in British Columbia. The trip was one he had planned for many years and was a dream come true for Carl. The two were married in 2008 at Indianola where


they were then living. Carl and Jo also flew to both Tonga and Turkey to join her son Bill and his wife Lisa, sailing with them in their boat in the South Pacific and the Mediterranean Sea. Carl and Jo wrote sailing articles for 48° North for a number of years. He also joined Jo in researching and helping write two of the Gunkholing cruising guides she had helped write and publish in the 1980s. Carl’s survivors include his wife, Joanne; son John Cole; daughters, Gale Nyberg (Roy Zawielski) and Barb Hannah (Mark); stepdaughters, Megan Bergstein, (Al); Robin Gould (Doug) and Debi Bailey; stepsons, Bill Bailey (Lisa) and John Bailey (Ann), and numerous step- grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren. Carl was married previously to Mildred Cole and Maryanne Koch. A gathering of friends of Carl will be held to remember


him and share memories and refreshments on Sunday, February 13 from noon until 3 p.m. at the Bailey-Nyberg home at 1120 16th Street in Port Townsend. Please R.S.V.P. Jo at 360-379-1985 or gunkholing.jo@gmail.com If you haven’t been here and need directions we’ll be happy to send them. Carl’s children (John, Gale and Roy, Barb and Mark)


are planning a Spring Celebration of their Father’s life that will be held in Seattle for those unable to make it to Port Townsend. If you are interested in attending please contact them at: carl@live.com for more information.


Carl was truly an “old salt.” For the many, many years he and Jo would trundle up the stairs to my office with their Gunkholing articles, it was always a welcome opportunity to hear Carl embark on one of his many tales of growing up, living, working and, of course, sailing on the waters of the Pacific Northwest. It was captivating to hear about the “old timers,” building and sailing the handcrafted wooden boats, and the adventures and misadventures he encountered and totally enjoyed as he traveled the waters of Puget Sound and beyond. Carl is now a part of that lore he loved so much and we thank him for sharing his knowledge and good humor with us and our readers for these many years.
