Opening day of Boating Season 2011 included a brief program with speakers including Town Crier Richard Riddell, City Council member Brian Geer (and Port Executive Bob Hyde), Marine Skills Center Director Donneta Spath and Anacortes Yacht Club Commodore Phil Case. Several speakers heaped accolades on event host Port of Anacortes for programs and improvements made in the past few years.
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.
