Early in Sep, soon after purchasing Happy Daze, Angie and I (Admiral and Captain, respectively) took a few days to get to know her better and enjoy the Anacortes area. Quite a lovely town, clean and "real" feeling, maybe half the size of Durango, and very oriented to boats and fishing. Unfortunately, mother nature was in a stinky mood, so we spent much more time in the marina than we did out on the water or anchored in quiet bays. When we did go out, we encountered few other boats and Happy Daze performed flawlessly and was a joy to operate.
This is Cap Sante Marina in Anacortes, where we found Happy Daze.

The marina had loaner bikes and a 5 mi or so biking/walking path that came right by the docks.
This is the town of La Conner, it is on the Swinomish Channel, which separates Fidalgo Island from the mainland. Anacortes is at the north end of Fidalgo.
And this is a view of the ever present snow on Mt. Baker. It is 32 miles from shore, 10,780 ft high, and last erupted in 1880.
