Bill Bailey

Bill Bailey acquired his passion for boats at the impressionable age of 12, when he worked at a shop with a master boat builder on a five-year project. At age 19, he bought a 32-foot engineless mahogany sloop and sailed her in the San Diego area for several years. In the 1980s, Bill and his wife Shannon moved to the Northwest and began a fishing business, with Bill on the water at least 200 days per year. The Baileys moved to San Juan Island in 1989. During this time the Baileys owned and voyages on two classic cruising boats, the first a 1946 33-foot Monk design and the second a 1947 42-foot Bill Garden-designed commercial troller. When not in Alaska, the Baileys enjoy life on their farm on San Juan Island.
