Well, we are about an hour from departing home to head for Anacortes and the San Juan Islands in the Puget Sound for a two week cruise. It will be our first cruise and first time in salt water and dealing with tides. I have a laptop and a subscription to a WiFi network that pretty much covers all the marinas so I'll be starting up a thread in the Cruising forum for photos. Got a lot of good cruising equipmenty tips from these forums but my guess is we'll still discover somethings!

We're doing some remote anchoring and some marinas with amenities. Two nights remote and then two nights at a marina.

I can't get the theme song from Gilligan's Island out of my head.

If anyone is heading up there here is our itinerary:

Tuesday September 4th – Cap Sante Boat Haven, Anacortes
360-293-0694 VHF66A www.portofanacorte.com marina@portofanacortes.com

Wednesday September 5th – Blind Bay, Shaw Island (Depart Cap Sante @ 6:00am)

Thursday, September 6th – Blind Bay, Shaw Island

Friday, September 7th – Deer Harbor, Orcas Island (Depart Blind Bay morning)
360-376-3037 VHF78A www.bellportgroup.com info@bellportgroup.com

Saturday, September 8th – Deer Harbor, Orcas Island
360-376-3037 VHF78A www.bellportgroup.com info@bellportgroup.com

Sunday, September 9th – Echo Bay, Sucia Island (Depart Deer Harbor 12:00)

Monday, September 10th – Echo Bay, Sucia Island

Tuesday, September 11th – Friday Harbor, San Juan Island (Depart Sucia 7:00am)
360-378-2688 VHF66A www.portfridayharbor.org

Wednesday, September 12th – Friday Harbor, San Juan Island

Thursday, September 13th – Fisherman Bay, Lopez Island (Depart Friday Harbor 10:00am)
Lopez Islander Resort 800.736.3434 360-468-2233 VHF78A http://www.lopezislander.com/lopez/index.html li@rockisland.com

Friday, September 14th – Fisherman Bay, Lopez Island
Lopez Islander Resort 800.736.3434 360-468-2233 VHF78A http://www.lopezislander.com/lopez/index.html li@rockisland.com

Sunday, September 16th – Cap Sante (Depart Cypress Island noon)

Oh man, I sure envy you this trip.

I'll be following your posts closely, as I hope to do the same trip next year about this time. (Anything to get away from the 114 degrees here in Phoenix.)

Also, thanks very much for all the links that you put into your message.

Have fun & best of luck.

My wife said she'd like to do the San Juans next summer. We'd have to schedule this during mid-June to mid August. I'm sure there are others that might sail at the same time? We live in southern California with our boat in a slip in Mission Bay, San Diego, so the trip would be a long one.
Will be following your progress.....

Was up there end of July/beginning of August, what a wonderful place to cruise. if you check this in Deer Harbor, be sure to make a stop at Jones Island on the way out- take a walk, it's beautiful. you're bound to see deer almost close enough to touch. We watched eagles fishing in the southern bay for a good 1/2 hour, amazing!

Have a great time. Will be looking for your report. Maybe you can see some Orca but keep a distance. Pictures?

Sorry for no posts. Having WAY too much fun. Clear blue skies and temps in the 70's! We are now in Friday Harbor and hope to see Orcas in the next day or two. We are just loving the cruising life - will be hard to go back to work!

Jim, we really enjoyed Blind Bay. Will post pix upon return.
