Smooth Sailing for 'Oil-Free' Food

SEQUIM, Wash. - Let us follow a strawberry, flush from the field as it travels on wind and water - but without petroleum - from Sequim to the big, hungry city.

People in Seattle want these oil-free Sequim berries with the Nash's Organic name on them, according to David Reid, owner and operator of Seattle's Sail Transport Co.

He's the bringer of our berry - plus hundreds of pounds of other produce - across the Strait of Juan de Fuca, into Puget Sound and to the city dock in Seattle, all without a motor.
