Anacortes is on
Fidalgo Island, which is just north of
Whidbey Island where we camped. There is a huge boatyard on the north end of the island, which you see below. There is also a headland called Cap Sante, with a road to a park at the top. We went up there and clambered around on the rocks and enjoyed the excellent views.

| All these sailboats were just milling around in this part of the marina, and we wondered why......... |
 |
There must have been some kind of signal, because suddenly all the sailboats took off for the Puget Sound.

| A lovely Pacific madrona tree. The bark is so fascinating with it's green and red colors. |

Madrone trees also shed the bark every year, and their leaves fall like Magnolia's - very messy tree, but pretty, as you say. We have quite a few in our neighborhood. Did you watch the regatta?
