| So many crab pots! |
Even back in the “BB” (Before Boating) days I told anyone
who would listen that I wanted to retire some day in La Conner. The Swinomish
Channel is one of my very favorite places.
We basically had our own private dock – the first public
dock from the south end is quite small, and half of it is private, so we
really had it to ourselves, as whoever owns the other half was not around.
The crabbing industry here is gearing up – not a lot of
action yet but they are getting their boats ready.
There are a couple of disadvantages, as stated in a previous
post. The water comes ripping through the channel and there is often a lot of
debris. As far as we know, we didn’t get bumped by any logs this time. Another
challenge is the wake situation. Although posted as a no wake zone, hardly
anyone abides by it. We had all kinds of boats, working and pleasure of all
sizes, come by us – sometimes very close by us – at speeds that caused enough
wake to set us rocking. (We had to keep a very close eye on the wine glasses
last evening!)
Woke up to gorgeous sunny weather. We just navigated the
passage north through the channel and will pass by Anacortes shortly. Lopez
here we come!
