Northwest scrapbook
A welcome break in weather drew many to Cap Sante at lunch today, including this gentleman with a digital camera. Boats powered by below, with towering clouds filling the horizon. Somewhere behind the clouds stands Mt. Baker, sure to emerge yet on cool, crisp Northwest days.
Randy’s Pier 61
This view of Randy’s Pier 61 Restaurant and homes on Cap Sante was taken Friday from the deck of MV Ken Sea, a ship making its first commercial run since its launch in Japan. Also pictured is the old Wyman’s Marina, now owned by the Port of Anacortes.
Fire training
Training for summer staff at Cap Sante Boat Haven includes small fire extinguisher instruction. Staffers completed a brief outdoor “class” Saturday morning.
Celebrating sun
What better place to celebrate sunshine than the waterfront, in this case at Cap Sante Boat Haven near downtown Anacortes. We had a glorious weekend, and President’s Day is starting out bright and beautiful, too. Enjoy your break from school, kids.
Lady leaves
Lady Washington and crew motored out of Cap Sante Boat Haven Tuesday about 10:30 a.m. after a few days in Anacortes with companion ship, Hawaiian Chieftain. The tall ship replica is a favorite among boat-watchers in the region. Homeport is Grays Harbor.
Bustling boat haven
This is a great time of year, not only for boaters, but for those like me who like to watch boaters. Activity is at peak levels right now at area marinas including Cap Sante Boat Haven, a pedestrian-friendly, public facility located on Fidalgo Bay near downtown Anacortes.
Great blue
Generally Great Blue Herons are quite spooky, which means you need a telephoto lens to get a decent “portrait.” This heron, however, hangs out in a high traffic area at a local marina, so he’s more approachable.
