While traveling south along the Oregon coast, we made sure we got a picture of this sign because we knew the artist had used the Genius as the model. In the shot above, she is sitting on the ways at what is now Skansie Park, then it was the Skansie home and net shed. The city was wise enough to buy the property, which is now used for so many wonderful activities such as concerts, farmers markets and plain old family picnics.
The Genius was built in the harbor and in the beginning, belonged to our family. Last I heard, she was in Roche Harbor, looking a little tired. When she left the harbor, the intention of the new owners from Friday Harbor was to convert her into a B&B. I don't know if that ever worked out.
