Wind and motor
Sail up, sail down for these boaters moving in opposite directions Tuesday afternoon on the Guemes Channel. The 4th is behind us, sunny days ahead, so recreational activity is bound to spike in coming weeks.
Magic time
Vicky Johnsen of Anacortes spent much of sunny Wednesday applying her loving touch to “Magic,” the sailboat she and husband Craig had custom built years ago in Sidney, B.C. This scene was photographed at Cap Sante Boat Haven.
Rare beauty
I spotted this large sailboat (schooner?) from the living room window Saturday afternoon. By the time I arrived downtown with camera, her crew was moving rapidly toward the islands. Anyone know any particulars?
The call of the sea
Friday’s sun on the water drew this sailor out. It’s hard to say how far the boat traveled, as I encountered it sailing past the old Wyman’s Marina on a return trip to the marina. There’s no doubt, however, that “sea lanes” will soon be filled with heavier traffic as recreational boaters enjoy our incredible […]
Sailing the Swinomish
My son and I spotted this sailboat heading down the Swinomish Channel, so we pulled into the county launch area under Berentson Bridge to shoot this image of the sailboat and a commercial boat tied up on the Fidalgo side of the channel.
Guemes scene
There wasn’t enough wind to sail into town, so this sailboat motored down the Guemes Channel Tuesday afternoon. This photograph was taken near the intersection of 5th Street and “K” Avenue.
Home to Skyline
Many boaters opted for weekend trips on the water, taking full advantage of our late September “summer.” I photographed this crew from Tugboat Park as they returned to Skyline marina Saturday afternoon.
Summer sails away
A sailboat with out-of-the-ordinary sails moves toward Anacortes Marina, as viewed from Cap Sante Wednesday afternoon.
Calm waters
A sailboat prepares to motor under Deception Pass Bridge on a beautiful Tuesday evening. The shadow of the bridge is visible on the bluffs of Pass Island in the center of Deception Pass.
Toward the pass
I’ve been over Deception Pass Bridge countless times, but it’s wonderful to see the Pass from the air or the water. I had the opportunity last weekend to spend the morning with friends enroute from Oak Harbor to Anacortes. Lots of other boaters had plotted a similar course.
Back at Canoe
We had a wonderful morning, bumming as friend Larry motored his sailboat from Oak Harbor to Anacortes. This shot was taken from Deception Pass, looking back at Canoe Bridge.
Remote boating
Among activities that draw a crowd at the Anacortes Waterfront Festival are the remote control boats. This year there was a regatta at Seafarers’ Park in addition to making this space available for display work.
