Bodega Bay isn’t what it used to be. How an ailing industry transformed the fishing town

FROM THE LIVING ROOM window of their waterfront home, Carol and Tony Anello have watched the rise and fall of Bodega Bay. Traffic on Westshore Road flows past in waves, fishing boats pull into the docks and throngs of visitors line up at Spud Point Crab Co., their restaurant next door. Launched more than 20 years ago and known for its chowder and Dungeness crab rolls, the restaurant has helped make the Anellos beacons of the community. 

It has also served as a life raft as they left the commercial fishing business.
