James Island May 19
Saturday turned out to be a beautiful, sunny day. We decided that rather than rush off to Bellingham, we would check and see if there was space available on the James Island as we passed by. Surprise, surprise, there was a spot on the new park dock.
The current was swirling in all directions as we approached and was very strong as we came alongside the dock.
We were lucky to get in on our first try. Numerous boats that arrived later encountered more difficulty and required several approaches and the aid of 5 or 6 of us on the dock, tugging on their lines and reeling them in, it was a challenge.
James Island is another beautiful marine park, offering rustic camp sites and beautiful trails with gorgeous vistas.
We awoke shortly after 7am. It was slack tide with almost motionless waters. We decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth, and cast off the lines and had coffee underway to Bellingham.
