| Peter Bailey is the boat builder in the story. When his Coast Guard tour of duty ended in 1968, Peter moved to Sausalito to pursue his dream of building a sailing homestead. He learned boatbuilding skills from old timers on the waterfront. After building Bertie, he turned his skills to model making for films, most recently at ILM for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” trilogy. Peter and his wife, Heidi, sailed off to Port Townsend in 2008. |

| Chris Hardman is the troubadour and a visionary optimist. His passion for agitprop theater was the engine driving many protest plays on the waterfront. His Cardboard Madonnas literally “flipped the script” when they stopped a bulldozer. His dramatic sound designs revolutionized audio tours in museums and historic sites. At Antenna Theater, he has created more than 30 experimental performance works. Chris and his wife, Annette Rose, live at Fort Cronkite. |

| Tom Hoover is the writer. He added the dimension of Gandhi style non-violence to the earliest demonstrations against development. As a member of the “Art Zone” movement, he wrote newspaper columns tracking the details of waterfront politics and edited “Scuttlebutt,” a weekly bulletin. His leadership in developing co-op rules of governance is a key factor in its continued success. He lives at Galilee Harbor on the historic “Dragon Boat.” |
