Marine activity picks up
With spring just around the corner, boat activity is picking up. A weekend visit to Washington Park gave me opportunity to photograph a kayaker, recreational fishermen and state Fisheries officers. It’s the water!

While the recreational vessel in the foreground headed back for Cap Sante Boat Haven, the working boat moved east. A day on the water for both. Different “missions,” both traditionally Northwest.
Boats at anchor
Now this is a beautiful parking lot. Boats at anchor off the shoreline of Biz Point.
Sun draws boaters

All about boats
They come in all shapes and sizes. A sailboat glides down the Guemes Channel on a sunny weekday. Lovric’s shipyard, on the Fidalgo side of the channel below 12th Street, is in the foreground.
