Afternoon escape

Faces turned upward as I scrambled down the rocky slope of Cap Sante to take this photograph. Given the size of the “crew,” I’m guessing this skipper was out for a cruise rather than a sail, departing from Cap Sante Boat Haven during one of our coveted “blue skies” periods.
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.
