We left the dock in Bellingham once our Instacart order from Safeway arrived with provisions for the next several days. We cruised south, past Anacortes and to the Swinomish Canal.

We passed through La Connor, WA and out to Skagit Bay to the South. From there we followed the West Coast of Camano Island down to the southern end of Whidbey Island and the town of Langley.

After grabbing a slip at the tiny marina, we looked at the beach and realized we had stayed in the one hotel on the shore, The Boatyard Inn, around 8 years ago.
