San Juan Islands Sea Kayaking from Anacortes

We've had a series of great trips over the last few days. My favorite kayaking trips always seem to have at least one youngster in the mix. On Friday, and again yesterday, we exposed lots of kids to the beauty of sea kayaking in the San Juan Islands. Friday's trip actually set a new record for the youngest sea kayaker to go on a tour with us. Little Soren, at just over 2 years old, joined us with his older sister Anna, and his parents. He did wonderfully! Not only was he comfortable and happy, he even took a little nap in the front of the kayak. Anna, at 5 years, really seemed to enjoy the kayaking as well. Particularly the stop on the beach where she got to eat some snacks.

Yesterday we had a mix of kids aged 7-14 years of age. We didn't have the nice sunny weather of the day before, but we got to enjoy a bona fide Pacific Northwest afternoon. Translation: It rained, and rained. Everyone did a terrific job in less than perfect conditions. I always admire the tough folks that come out rain or shine. Like we've said a thousand times; we don't have bad weather out here, just unfortunate clothing choices.

Spring is here, the flowers are blooming. It's time for sea kayaking in the San Juan Islands!
