From material found at the Bainbridge Island Historical Society, not from the Gailey Family but other Summer people just down the beach, a description of arriving to the Island for the Summer:

...... We would all arrive there about the same time and and all of their stuff would be loaded on the tug and the tug would chug across the sound and drop anchor as near the shore as it could get in front of the properties. When we got there, Mr. Murray, who was a farmer up on Madison Avenue would come down and meet us with a rowboat. He'd row out to the tug and take the men and older boys to shore.  While we were being moved to shore, Mr. Murray would have brought our tent and flies down from his barn where he had stored them during the winter and he and the men would then put the tents up on platforms.
