With sun shining and flags flying, hundreds of people walked the docks at Trawler Fest 2011, a week-long event sponsored by PassageMaker magazine. Trawler Fest, which is taking place at Cap Sante Boat Haven, is a boost to the local economy with guests spilling out into businesses including Anthony’s Restaurant.
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.
