Action from all angles
Published July 27, 2012 / by Steve Berentson
Fidalgo Bay near downtown Anacortes is a busy place these days, especially given the fact that a the National Lido Regatta is underway. As afternoon turned to evening on Thursday, traffic picked up. Lido crews returned from racing; whale watching boats delivered day guests back to Cap Sante Boat Haven; Sophia Christina (background) crewman David Jackson led a crew of rowers into the North Basin. Action continues today (July 27), with great views from Cap Sante or Seafarers’ Memorial Park.
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.
