Patos to Sucia to San Juan

This morning we left Patos Island and headed over to Sucia Island to do another short hike with Kevin's mom. I think Sucia is my favorite of the San Juan Islands. We stopped at the main dock and hiked out to Fox Point.

And here's my arty series of tiny rocks with barnacles growing on them:

That last rock there is about 1 inch x 1 inch. Tiny!

We had dinner tonight at McMillin's at Roche Harbor (delicious!) and I took this fun photo from our table, with the reflection of the ceiling lamp behind us:

Back at Airship's slip, the little chapel on the hill was looking particularly photogenic:

Tomorrow's plan is to cruise the west side of San Juan Island, around the bottom of Lopez Island and to Watmough Bay for the night.

Here's today's cruise:

    And away you go! Do you both have Nexus passes? My partner and I do, and the boat has the Homeland Security sticker, but more is needed.

    • Not yet. We have Canpass (not enough time to do Nexus before we left, but we’ll do it when we get back home). We have the customs sticker too….so far the customs clearing has all be super easy.
