Springtime in the San Juan Islands
There are buds forming on the bushes, cherry trees are beginning to bloom, the days are warming up. Looks like our winter hibernation is coming to an end. It's time to dust off the kayaks and head out for another summer of sea kayaking in the San Juan Islands.
Did I say hibernation? Not with a 3 year old and an 8 month old in the house! Our boys have kept us plenty busy this winter, and sleeping is not really something either child is too interested in. They are wonderful boys, though, and we'll endure the sleep deprivation. It's nice to have a lifestyle that allows us to spend so much time with them in the off-season.
We've actually been sea kayaking quite a bit this past winter. The San Juans turn into a veritable wilderness in the colder months and you can go days without seeing another party on the water.
Now that the days are longer we are working feverishly to prepare for the 2008 kayaking season. By all measures we should have another fantastic year. Our multi-day kayaking trips are selling like hotcakes as lots of our guests from the last few years are coming back for another vacation in the San Juan Islands. Our strongest advertising has always been word-of-mouth and repeat customers, and this year is no exception. We really appreciate everyone's support!!
We've also introduced a new multiday trip this year. For a few select dates we will be offering guided trips that depart from Orcas Island and head up to the Sucia Island Group. For those of you that know the area, you'll agree that this has got to be one of the top destinations in the San Juans. With abundant wildlife, great camp sites, and stunning rock formations, Sucia Island has long been the "Holy Grail" among Washington sea kayaking enthusiasts. By departing from Orcas Island (less than 2 miles away) we maximize our time up there.
Give us a call if you have any questions about this new expedition, or any of our kayak tours, we'd love to help you choose the experience that is best for you!
