San Juan Islands Sea Kayaking from Anacortes

After a few weeks of weird weather that alternated between warm and cold days, it looks like Spring has finally pushed Old Man Winter back into hibernation. The flowers out in the Skagit Valley are finally filling the fields with incredible colors, and our kayak tours have been treated to summer-like conditions. We've been spotting sea lions on several occasions over the past week. These big guys are pretty exhilarating to encounter in a kayak, they are about the size of a grizzly bear (but not as scary). The Peregrine falcons on Burrows Island are quite active as well. Last week we were lucky to watch the male bring a kill to his mate who is probably sitting on eggs now.

We've just finished sorting out the details for a great new multi-day trip! This summer we'll be offering a handful of kayak/yoga trips to Sucia Island. Our good friend Djuna Mascall, owner of the Orcas Mandala Yoga Center, will be co-leading the trips with one of our guides. Djuna is an incredible yoga instructor and a skilled sea kayak coach who also works with the coaches at Body Boat Blade on Orcas Island. The trips will be three days in length and will include daily yoga sessions on the beaches of Sucia Island. This will be a wonderful opportunity to combine two very symbiotic activities (sea kayaking and yoga) within the breath-taking scenery of one of the most outstanding places in the San Juan Islands.
Because we are only offering this trip a few times in 2009 we definitely recommend that you make your reservation soon if you are interested in going. We anticipate that they will likely sell out quickly.
