Fidalgo Bay was alive with competitive sailing teams made up of teens Saturday in Anacortes. About 150 high school sailors from as far away as Oregon competed in 14-foot Flying Junior dinghies in a regional event hosted by the Interscholastic Sailing Association (ISA). The association will host a national event May 28 and 29 in Anacortes. Historically such events are held in large cities, so this is considered a great honor for Anacortes.
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.
