Olympia At Dawn James Nugent

The City of Olympia was glowing in the predawn light. I rapidly made my way to the center of the channel, avoiding the sand bars. Within a half hour, I was motoring through still water at the terminus of the bay. I stopped at the pier at Percival Landing and looked up at the statue. It was a cement looking statue of a couple kissing. I was 20' below street level and could hear cars occasionally going up the street. I was a little nervous to be here before dawn.
