More summer fun in Anacortes
Erik remains busy keeping all the cogs of our operation turning smoothly, so I've been given the opportunity of a guest appearance.
Summer weather is the Pacific Northwest's best kept secret - for three months out of the year, the gray clouds and rainshowers disappear and we enjoy day after day of beautiful sunshine. Those of us fortunate enough to spend every day out on the water love starting our tours in fog cover, only to watch it burn off by noon to reveal a cloudless sky. Afternoons usually reach the 70s, with an occasional break into the low 80s, which most locals consider to be a little too hot.
With all this sunshine, the only place to be is out on the water. Our day tours have been bustling, with even more whale sightings and frequent encounters with bald eagles and peregrine falcons, harbor porpoises and river otters, and baby harbor seals hanging close to their moms and quickly ballooning up to adult size.
And we continue to take more and more multi-day trips to Cypress Island and Sucia Island, spending full days out on the water, hiking and exploring the islands, and enjoying the long, late evenings of the Northwest summer making s'mores by a campfire on the beach. It doesn't get much better than that.
I hope to see you out on the water!
