Another Oak Harbor and NAS Whidbey Island joint endeavor became a reality, April 29, as Capt. Gerral
David, NAS Whidbey commanding officer, and Oak Harbor Mayor Jim Slowik officially opened the
Maylor Point Trail on the Seaplane Base. Part of the cityís comprehensive plan for 15 years, various
departments from Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Engineering and Planning came together
to create the waterfront extension for the public. The trail is
more than three miles from
Scenic Heights to Maylor Point
and spotlights birds, marshes
and beautiful views of Oak
Harbor.

Thankfully the crew was
able to experience a SAR

“I learned a lot today
and am very confident that
the Whidbey SAR team is
among the best out there,”
said Dearden.
