Tillikum trials
Published October 13, 2010 / by Steve Berentson
Timing is everything. I spotted the Tillikum doing sea trials on Fidalgo Bay, Mt. Baker in the background, but by the time I got to Cap Sante the angle on the mountain was gone. The Tillikum has been undergoing maintenance and repair work in this area.
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.
