San Juanico

On 5/22 we left Isla Coronados (bottom) and headed to San Juanico (middle)
- our all-time favorite anchorage this time of year.
San Juanico
Good hiking, beachcombing, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and fishing.
The first few nights we were at the south anchorage.
One night we had a really good salad and dessert potluck on the beach.
Awesome sunset.
View from the ridge hike - looking north.
North anchorage (looking south) - Loomba-Loomba anchored by herself.
We stayed for 10 days.
Good friends joined us for a hike and a swim over
to La Ramada (north of San Juanico).

On a calm day we took the dinghy out to Los Mercenarios
(at the south entrance to San Juanico) to explore.
There are lots of  osprey nests all around San Juanico
and many of them are out at Los Mercenareios.
Osprey nest.

From San Juanico we headed north to Bahia Concepcion.

North to Southeast Alaska

Our old friend, Roger, invited us to join him (as crew) on his first leg home from Sitka to Seattle. We did the first leg (and most scenic) from Sitka to Petersburg. He has been heading north on a boat from the Seattle area every summer since he was a little kid so he knows the area well. We flew into Sitka (arriving at 3PM), got a taxi to the harbor, jumped into the skiff, headed out to the boat, and we were on our way to Kalinin Bay on Kruzof Island for the night.  (Jim's hat says "Where's the Fish") The next morning we headed north and into the Pacific along the Khaz Peninsula, inside Klokachef Island, up around Khaz head and then various anchorages around Baranof Island, Admiralty Island and Kupreanof Island. The weather wasn't the greatest, but we did have some sunny days, mostly calm waters, lots of wildlife and good fishing and beautiful scenery:   

North to Vancouver Island..........

 ........this time on our van aboard the Coho Ferry to Victoria. It was a really fun week visiting old cruising friends and for Jim to see old haunts from his time living in Victoria (many years ago). The Coho ferry leaves Port Angeles on the Olympic Peninsula and arrives in downtown Victoria in one and a half hours: We drove up the west side of Vancouver Island then cut across to a wonderful Provincial C ampground on Gordon Bay on a beautiful lake. The Provincial Campgrounds are big and very well maintained. From Gordon Bay Campground we headed to Nanaimo to hook up with Bob and Gisele Coffey (s/v Relax) where we spent the night. We did a lot of catching up, took a couple of walks around the ponds surrounding their neighborhood and then headed up to another BIG and Beautiful Provincial Park:Rathtrevor Provincial Park about one hour north of Nanaimo. We spent two nights "buddy vanning". . From there we drove (along with Coffeys) down to Shawnigan Lake to visit Ian and Diane (...
