Skagit Island



Bill & Rob had a great day of paddling on Saturday with no wind and no fog. They started out at 7:50 am and arrived at Skagit island at 1:15 pm. There was a bit of swell coming down the Strait of Juan de Fuca to keep them alert. The traveled through Deception Pass with some ebb current flowing and had to thread their way through fishing boats making sure they didn't get caught up in their lines. They saw their first kayaker on the water today, there has been little congestion on the water. They camped at the WWTA site on Skagit Island SP and enjoying a gorgeous evening. They assumed the locals were celebrating their arrival on Skagit as there was a polka band playing in the distance that evening and a short fireworks show. Nice touch the locals are friendly. I've included a photo of the Deception pass bridge.
