July 20th- Anyhow, we had three wonderful couples join us for a 3 day trip around the San Juans. They were avid canoers and so we had lots to talk about and shared our favorite canoeing places! Tex's Riverways in Moab, UT was on top of the list. We headed out of PT and across the straights bound for Fish Creek. The straights gave us quite the lumpy ride as it was extremely windy the night before. But we were able to sail a good portion of it and sail onto the anchor in Fish Creek!
July 21st- We started the morning with a beautiful hike around San Juan Island ending at the lighthouse on Cattle Point and then looping back to Fish Creek. The woods here are amazingly quiet, beautiful and serene...kinda like Vermont. Which explains why I connect with it so much. We hauled back and went back out into the straights (this time sunny and a nice breeze) and went past Danger Rock up into Rosario Striaght and then into Watmough Bay for the evening. And, we only have to drop anchor once (it is notorious for being kelpy and having to reset multiple times).
July 22nd- We did my favorite hike up the cliff in Watmough for the view and rope swing! If I could each and everyone of you wonderful readers of this up there, I would. My words could never do it justice, it is simply amazing. Eventually we had to head back to the boat and sail for PT(motor sail) due the straights not being in our favor once again.
We had such a wonderful group on board and it was a pleasure to learn from them and also be able to teach them and show them my love for sailing. Thanks for a wonderful trip, wish it was longer guys!
xoxo to al you lovely people out there
