Orcas Island circumnavigation.... continued







In December of 2008 a paddling bud and I started a circumnavigation of Orcas Island (WA), unfortunately the third and final day after leaving from Jones Island we where met with 40-50 mph winds when we got to East Sound and ended our paddle blown up on a beach in downtown Eastsound. You can see the first part of the story on this blog from last December. On Thursday July 10 I finally finished the last leg of that journey. Launching at the public beach next to Lieberhaven resort at 8am I made to North Beach a few minutes before noon. Making a couple stops along the way to enjoy the beautiful vista's of Mt. Baker and the Canadian mountains in the distance.
