Skagit Island Overnight

Brian and Marcia had invited me to join them on a South Sound Area Kayakers kayak camping trip to Skagit Island. Dropped by Goat Island to hike up to the abandoned bunkers. Perfect weather--sunny, calm. Currents were just little ripples. There was talk of playing in Deception Pass, but all I wanted to do was chill out at our Skagit Isl campsite. Napped, hiked with the group round the island and enjoyed the sunset and evening stars.

Next morning, woke to blustery conditions. I was more concerned by the possibility of lightning, so I packed quickly and left with two in our party. Brian and Marcia stayed behind a little more. Turned out that the storms didn't happen, but that's ok. Dropped by some farms for fresh produce and indulged in salmon candy and ice cream at Snow Goose.
