Last week I took my 23 foot diesel powered pocket trawler, the Merganser for a cruise into the San Juan Islands for several days.
Canoe Pass a part of Deception Pass the gateway to the San Juan Islands. Turbulent whirlpools passing through Deception Pass. Buoy marking the entrance to the ship channel into Rosario Strait from the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The Olympic Mountains in the distance. Iceberg Point State Park on Lopez Island. Mummy Reef crowded with Harbor Seals. Shark Reef with Harbor Seals and Brandt's Cormorants.
Lime Point Lighthouse. It marks the east entrance to Harrow Straight that runs between the San Juan Island and Vancouver Island. No Orcas were nearby unfortunately. The Merganser tied up in Stuart Island's Reid Harbor. Sunset in Lopez Island's Fisherman's Bay.
