Gowlland Point

Saturday morning, we checked out the Farmer's Market at the Community Center and then wandered through the permanent flea market they call Nu to Yu. We didn't buy anything, but I appreciate that on a small island, it's nice to have a place that keeps the old stuff circulating.

But after lunch, the sun came out, and we headed back to South Pender. We did the short hike out to Brooks Point and then followed the trail back around to Gowlland Point. This is a great spot see the northern U.S. islands, like Sucia, Waldron, and Stuart, as well the higher points on Orcas and San Juan Islands.  It's also a good place to see orca, but only when they're around.  They weren't, although we did catch a few on the way back to Tsawwassen on Monday afternoon.
