The next day we went for a walk around town, stopped at the market for some supplies, returned to the boat, and untied the lines. We were underway headed to Port Ludlow around 24 nautical miles away. Along the way, we crossed paths with this amazing Nordhavn 95. Port Ludlow was beautiful. I threw a… Read More Langley to Port Ludlow
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… Read More Bellingham to Langley, Whidbey Island
We anchored in Blind Bay for our last night. It was perfectly calm and not very crowded. We threw the kayaks into the water and paddled around the bay. We enjoyed a bit of happy hour and then were treated to an amazing sunset!

I carried her across the threshold for a photo. We couldn’t remember where it was and I was surprised to stumble across… Read More Lopez Island – Spencer Spit (w/ Dan & Neha)

As we were motoring around we just happened to turn the radio volume… Read More Roche Harbor (w/ Dan & Neha)

Our first stop was going to be back at Sucia so we headed out from Bellingham and up Hale Passage along Lummi Island’s East side. We anchored in Echo Bay, very close the the… Read More Sucia Island (w/ Dan & Neha)
As we left Sucia we had an incredible view of Mt. Baker and took these cool pictures. No filters applied yet they look like watercolors.
One of our favorite activities is stopping at the oyster farm for lunch. In the past, we only knew about Buck’s in Olga on Orcas Island. This trip we learned about Westcott Bay Shellfish Co. on San Juan Island. It was fantastic. A new favorite due to the wider variety of menu items in addition… Read More Westcott Bay Shellfish
