Here are photos from our hike to the lighthouse:

While in Prevost Harbor, we wondered why one boat had two
dinghies. Well, it’s because one of them is a tiny sailboat. This sailor looked
quite relaxed as he tootled around the bay.
We went for a paddle in the kayak and were lucky enough to
watch a family of four rambunctious otters playing for a few minutes before
they spotted us and hightailed it to hide under a rock on shore. When we
returned, we experimented with yet another way to stow our kayak.

We arrived in Garrison Bay after a nice cruise through Mosquito Pass, which is also the way into Wescott Bay. Both of these bays are part of the larger body of water that includes Roche Harbor, on the north end of San Juan Island. Lots of boats at anchor here.
The weather was completely psychotic – we covered the cockpit
seat and retreated indoors for rain squalls at least 3 times. Then it would
clear and look like nothing happened. Our herb pot liked it!
We dropped the crab pot but checked it later to find zero
crabs…new bait idea...didn’t work. Nick thought he would try the kibble and
liquid concoction (known as shrimp and crab attractant) because it’s always on
board, rather than the tried and true clams. We know there are crabs out there –
it’s a popular spot in the channel here. [Only small complaint about Garrison
Bay – lots of speeding small boats in and out.)
We took the dinghy in to English Camp for a quick walk
yesterday evening. (Nice fence, Caleb!)
Our plan is to motor back to Friday Harbor to take my bike
in for a flat repair. We may dock overnight or anchor…we’ll see.
