From Washington State take the Anacortes ferry through the Puget Sound to Friday Harbor. This Marina is surrounded by clear blue water, evergreen trees and views of Mt. Baker. We stayed at the Euro chic boutique hotel Bird Rock Hotel we shared a community bathroom, enjoyed plush beds, nice soaps, a so-so breakfeast that was a bit disorganized and started late for us early risers. The hotel did provide single speed beach crusisers and suggested a nice 45 minute island loop. The weather was spectacular; sunny and 70 degrees for our kayak trip on the west side of the island. We seen seals, jelly fish, salmon, star fish, bald eagles but we had no orca sightings. Discovery Sea Kayaks were perfect for our expierenced group.Our first night on the island we were hungary and tired and unfortuntely chose Haleys Bait Shop Grill, perhaps the name should have warned us that the food would be more suitable to be used for bait! Black Ball. The short visit to this beautiful island was wonderful, the colorful flower baskets liven up the streets. There is a conscience effort with many of the establishments here to practice sustainable environmentaly friendly business.
