Anecdotes

Rhonda Salo Guerra wrote (Email to Nauticapedia 05/04/2019) that "My family used to own and live on the Arro from 1967 to 1972. My Dad Bruce Henry Salo and Mother Donna Alyea Salo bought it from Lake Union boat sales and we moved to our home in Poulsbo where we first lived right at Poulsbo Marina for about 6 months. Then we lived at the Pulsbo Oyster plant mooring. I am the daughter, and have three brothers. Our years on the Arro were full of adventure traveling all through the American and Canadian San Juan Islands."
