San Juan Islands Sea Kayaking from Anacortes

Summer is officially here! We enjoyed a busy Father's Day weekend even though the weather was not quite as nice as it had been during the previous three weeks.
The peregrine falcon chicks are getting close to leaving their nest on Burrows Island. Andaria was leading a kayak trip out there the other day and reported that all three chicks have lost most of their downy feathers. Pretty soon we'll be seeing them hopping around on the cliff-face adjacent to the nest.
The seals and porpoise sightings have been outstanding recently, which makes a lot of sense now that there are large schools of bait fish coming back into the islands. The Orca whales, which were gone for nearly a month, are finally back too. The super-pod was seen yesterday as they traveled down from the Fraser River in Canada.

Our kayak camping trips are now in full swing. Once again we are taking folks up to Sucia Island, Cypress Island, and many other great places in the San Juan Islands. Call us, we'd love to show you around!
