San Juans December 2005


In early December I took a couple days and went paddling in the San Juans. On Wednesday December 7 I paddled in Griffin Bay on San Juan Island. I launched from a beach in the park at American Camp, paddled north-ish along the shore to Turn Island, then paddled pretty much straight south back to American Camp. 9.5 nm

On Thursday December 8 I paddled from Deer Harbor on Orcas to Jones Island and back. I timed my trip so that the current of the flood tide would take me easily to Jones Island (not that difficult). I had lunch on Jones Island during slack so on the way back I had the ebb current helping me. On the way back I paddled around the Wasp Islands before heading back to Deer Harbor. 6.9 nm
