Anacortes, Fidalgo Island


It’s good to be home following our successful shakedown cruise to Desolation Sound during which we re-gained our sea legs.  Moored at the very friendly Cap Sante Boat Haven, everything a cruiser needs is within walking distance:  a laundromat, post office, banks, chandleries, gift shops, grocery stores, and restaurants.  In the summer, the Port offers free community concerts on Friday nights, on-going sidewalk chess games and rental bikes.

On Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings, there's an energetic farmer’s market where a colorful and tasty array of vegetables, fruits, berries, breads and crafts are presented by friendly local vendors. We savored a grilled salmon dinner and local brew while listening to live music, enjoying the sights, sounds and scents of summer.
