Orcas Island ~ July

We spent the July 20th weekend in one of my favorite places of Washington State - Orcas Island. It's always a pain to get there (long drive, ferry waits, etc, etc) but once you're on the island you forget all that. Friday afternoon we arrived at the Anacortes Ferry Landing at 2pm, we missed the 3:50pm Ferry sailing by 3 cars. The next ferry was scheduled for 7:20pm, so we cooked hot dogs on our gas stove and walked around until sail time. It was a grey, but beautifully warm evening on the ferry. Once arriving at the campground we setup our camp and then headed back to a nearby town for a few supplies and dinner.

Saturday we woke up early, cooked breakfast and hung out at the campground. West Beach Resort is absolutely amazing. I hope to go back in the future and stay at one of their cabins. After hanging out for a bit, we took an interesting back roads drive to the Deer Harbor Marina for a 3 hour sailing trip.
Sailing Trip
Our Captain was a lot of fun, and the weather couldn't have been better for the sailing. The winds took us right along; only had to use the motor for a short while. Each of us got the opportunity to pull in or push out the sails, and also to the steer the boat.

After sailing, we dropped Karla and Joey off at the ferry docks to head back to main land and we went back to the campground to watch the sunset, it was absolutely GORGEOUS!!
