Scenes from the 2011 Anacortes Spring Boat Show at Cap Sante Boat Haven. On the working end of the show were local pros including John Hackstadt of ABC Yacht Charters (right, photo one) and Peter Whiting of Northwest Trawlers (photo two) talking to John Ripley of Banana Belt Boats. Photo three includes Greg Mustari of Nordic Northwest Yachts, talking to insurance broker Mary Lefleur.
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
