The map here shows well out route. Seattle to Edmonds, ferry to Kingston, Kingston to Port Townsend, ferry to south end of Whidbey Is, rode to Annacortes. ferry to Lopez Is, 2 days later ferry to Friday Harbor.
No question we’re getting quicker packing up in the mornings. Chatted to our cycle touring neighbors and made a plan for San Juan Is. Will spend 3 nights at Lakeside Resort a private campsite 5 miles North of Friday Harbour and have day trips out from there. Got to the ferry in good time for 10am sailing. Hour and a half to FH stopping at Shaw Is. and Orcas Is. on the way. Beautiful, and another fine day. Bagel and coffee by the pier, flat tire delay ( new rim strip required for back wheel and fortunately bike shop close by - only one on the island !) and rode the 5 miles to Lakeside campsite. Pitched tents and set off immediately to Roche Village and Boating Resort another 5 miles further on to the north of the island. A good road and adequate shoulder. All very smart. Million plus dollar boats by the score. Different world ! One 60 foot yacht looked as if it might be in America Cup league. Enjoyed the sculpture park on way out of town. Back to campsite at dusk equipped with beer supply and dinner . Shower block quarter of a mile away , but immaculately clean and able to charge phones.
