Spotted this lone humpback whale just as I was returning to port in Edmonds. He was a bugger to get a photo of! Would disappear for 5+ minutes at a time.

Heading South, crossing the East entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The San Juans are off in the distance.

A quick run back to Skagit Island to use the facilities before turning in for the night. The "facilities" are much nicer on Skagit than on Hope Island.

Cruising around Hope Island in the dinghy. Picked up this 3.5 Tohatsu at a swap meet a month ago for $300 and it does quite well on the 9 foot dinghy.

In the early afternoon I took the dinghy over to neighboring Skagit Island, where I am beached here.

There were a couple of bald eagles in the trees, directly behind my boat, no more than 100' away.

Landing at beach on Hope Island to use the facilities and pay the overnight moorage fee. Lil'C is the tiny boat on the third buoy!

By the time I had the dinghy inflated to go ashore to pay the buoy fee, the wind at Hope Island had picked up...glad I snagged the last buoy around 11AM, the currents are swift through this area, although many yachts anchor here as well without any apparent issues.

It was flat calm all the way from Edmonds to Hope Island. I cruised at around 4200 RPM, took almost 2.5 hours.
