Left Friday Harbor this morning and came to West Sound Marina on Orcas Island. It is so beautiful here. I can't believe it took me slightly over an hour to come from Friday Harbor here... just a quick jaunt now that I live in the Islands. A friend called this region"the Southern Border of God's Country" after he spent about five years in Alaska cruising. It would be very hard to leave here despite the fact that I can't seem to find many places to shower that spotless.
Most of the showers I have come across in the Islands range from dirty (here at the picturesque West Sound Marina) to something that is reminiscent of the gas chambers (Friday Harbor). Tomorrow I am going to Deer Harbor where I remember the showers were great. I wish the guide books were a bit more blunt in their descriptions... Maybe I should write "Boater's Guide to Showers of the San Juan and Gulf Islands ". Despite my disappointment on the facilities front here the actual marina is as charming and picturesque as possible.
