Paddleboard gathering
A group of Saturday morning paddleboarders heads for a serene corner of Bowman Bay.
Modes of transportation
This was a fun shot. Could be a setup for a joke: “A sailboat skipper, a kayaker and a family of three on a paddleboard meet on the bay …” Bowman Bay, midday Monday.
Boats & beaches
My morning started at West Beach on the Whidbey side of Deception Pass. I then headed to North Beach, and then crossed the bridge to Bowman Bay and Lighthouse Point on Fidalgo Island. I’m guessing sunshine and a desire to be temporarily free of COVID-19 “incarceration” prompted people to head for the outdoors with boats, […]

Busy Bowman Bay
Water activity at Bowman Bay Friday included kayaks, canoes and sailboats, this one tied up at the floating dock. I also spotted a diver, and there were numerous people enjoying the beach.
Memorable day for Jay
“Viking boat” builder Jay Smith presided in November 2017 over the launch of yet another amazing vessel built in his Fidalgo Island shop. Master boatbuilder Smith apprenticed in Norway, worked in the Faroe Islands and Denmark, and studied under master boatbuilder Nils O. Ulset. The well-attended launch took place at Bowman Bay.
Bowman Bay recreation
Summer sunshine draws people outdoors, as evidenced here on a recent visit to Bowman Bay on south Fidalgo Island. Anacortes Kayak Tours is operating again with restrictions, and area parks including Deception Pass State Park are open. Good to get out of the box!
Lovely Lottie Bay
Add this hike to your to-do list of summer adventures! Lottie Bay, accessible on a well-marked trail from Bowman Bay on south Fidalgo Island. If you’re up to it, a trail offshoot leads to Lighthouse Point.

Standing in the rain
Standing in the rain at Bowman Bay in Deception Pass State Park. A statue placed in tribute to young men who worked in the Civilian Conservation Corps, created by President Franklin Roosevelt during the Depression years of the 1930s. CCC crews completed many projects, both on Fidalgo and Whidbey island sides of the park.
Out for a paddle
What better way to enjoy the outdoors while meeting COVID-18 “social distancing” regulations. There was a marked spike in activity on the water Friday afternoon at Bowman Bay, but watersports provided a safe way to exercise and enjoy the sun without worry about a crowd.
