It Ain’t All Flowers | 7.23.22
Sometimes you gotta smell the thorns. – Sturgill Simpson ~ From Nate ~ Today marks (at least) a full month since we left Bainbridge Island. We just pulled in to Tenedos Bay, Desolation Sound. This is just south of the aforementioned, much hullaballooed, and as-pretentious-as-it-sounds Prideaux Haven. Tenedos seems still a well-known spot, but as…
