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. Gnarled tree up on the bluffs: Kevin,…

Kevin's mom flew in this week to hang out with us for a few days before we leave for Alaska, so we thought we'd show her the boat and some of our favorite spots in the San Juan Islands. Yesterday morning we headed for Patos Island (that's Patos there in…
