Spinnakers up, Hat Island and Mt. Baker as backdrop
Cap Sante Marina serves as base for Race Week Anacortes 2023, an annual event that brings dozens of beautiful boats and hundreds of experienced crews to this island community. The event runs from Monday through Friday, with associated activities including live music and boating sessions on land. Race participants are boosting the local economy, from shops and hotels to restaurants and pubs. See boatweekpnw.com.
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.
