Sucia Islands

When we reached the Sucia Islands, we were coming up from the SW, so we came up almost to Fossil Bay. As we neared the islands we chatted about how beautiful the island are. They are a whole different look than the rest of the San Juan Islands. You can tell that they really aren't part of the sunken Mountain range, that makes up the San Juan Islands. How they got there I don't know. I'm just glad they are there, to enjoy the beautiful mounds, with trees & low beaches connecting them. There are not very many mooring balls inside Fossil Bay, but they are lined up both sides, with a small dinghy dock. Everywhere you look there is a picturesque view. I was in such awe I forgot to take any pictures. I did get some beautiful shots though. This is definitely dinghy country, I'll tell you what. Snoring Bay isn't a very big bay, which is located between Echo Bay and Fossil Bay, on the southern tip of Sucia Island. Inside Echo Bay are the islands, Justice, North and South Finger Islands. On the NE Islands are Cluster and Ewing, with Shallow Bay on the west side. No matter which island you see, it's just absolute beauty. We decided we need to spend more time here on our next vacation in August, with our dinghy. Hopefully there will be an open mooring ball. If not, that's what we have an anchor for. We set out for Matia Island, and down the East side of Orcas Island, through the Straight of Georgia. We decide to go on the East side of Sinclair Island. We ended our trip around the East side of Guemes Island, and into our home port, Cap Sante Boat Haven in Anacortes. What a beautiful trip home.  bunkmate
