One reason for me getting the boat a couple of years ago was the desire to get to some places I couldn't get to otherwise. Yesterday, I drove up to Whidbey and paddled across to Hope Island - one of those many Washington State Parks that you can only get to by boat. The crossing was short enough and the conditions good enough so I felt comfortable making the trip.
The weather was perfect - almost too bad that the cold water requires me to be dressed much warmer than I would prefer. Mount Baker was crystal clear. There was a constant stream of boats heading out towards, or back from, Deception Pass. And by the time I got back to Ala Spit, folks with coolers and umbrellas were beginning to show up to enjoy the warm day and the low tide.
As usual, more pictures over at Gravel Beach.
