Kayaks, Sunshine, Wildlife -- One Cannot Complain
Well your regular blog reporter, Erik, has found himself quite busy lately. With our many kayak tours going in and out just about all hours of the day, I'll be sitting in for him this fine afternoon.
Recent weeks here in the San Juan Islands have been enjoying an especially sun-filled summer. Our Deception Pass and Burrows Island kayak tours have been going very well, taking out paddler after paddler into these two nearby but distinct scenic locations. And speaking of scenic, just today we had Orca whales pass by tours at both locations! They looked to be some members of the resident J-Pod heading South and virtually unnoticed by other boaters.
This brings me to mentioning our multi-day kayak tours: Last week our guide Peter and guests were privileged in watching whales pass by them on Strawberry Island, just off of the West coast of Cypress Island. Strawberry is a fantastic little place to set up camp on our tours, it's just right for landing a kayak and nothing larger.
The past two weeks have been nothing short of fantastic for us at Anacortes Kayak Tours; I look forward to offering you news of the same nature soon to follow. Actually, I look forward to getting on the water!
'Til next time,
Corey McCartney
