Under fire
Published August 9, 2008 / by Steve Berentson
Staging yet another “sea battle” on the waters between Fidalgo and Guemes islands Saturday were the Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftain (firing cannon). Word is they will be available for tour and cruise again out of Cap Sante Boat Haven Sunday, August 10.
About Steve Berentson
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.
