Orcas Island

We spent a lovely evening last night with old college friends of my wife's who it turned out had bought several acres on Orcas Island. So, we decided to visit the Island because we had never been there before. We had stayed on San Juan Island at Friday Harbor before on our way to Victoria by Ferry but hadn't visited Orcas yet. So, this was a fun thing to see. So now we are looking out on the ocean here and it's great to finally visit here after all these years. For me, it might be a little remote because it can only be reached by Ferries and boats for me to be here in the winter time when it is snowing but other than that it is really amazing now in the summer. The last time I was here in the San Juan Islands it was very hot but today and yesterday it was only in the 70s mostly so the weather is perfect. There was a little fog at Anacortes when we set out on the Ferry but it soon cleared up as we journeyed across the ocean to the Island of Orcas. However, they told us if we want to go to Victoria we have to leave Orcas at 7:30 am to get a ferry to Friday Harbor to catch another Ferry at 9:30 am to Sidney so we can then drive to Victoria on Vancouver Island. If you haven't been here before Victoria is on Vancouver Island which is a really big island compared to the other islands which are much smaller in comparison.
