Anacortes - Hanging in Town

It's so easy to get in the habit of describing a trip through the lens of what there is to do.  Just as interesting is what there is to see.  From our campsite, we have the ever-changing sky and water to delight us every day if we only take the time to notice.  On this calm evening, as the light was starting to fade, there appeared the most beautiful sight as steam from the refinery mixed with the cooler air.  The light from the setting sun made the steam standout from the gray background and helped with its reflection on the water.


 We had a few sprinkles this evening, but in true NW fashion, the campsite next to ours would not be deterred.  They had family over, did s'mores over their propane fire pit, and in general seem to have a great time.

The Sinclairs from the Portland Yacht Club are in Bounder motorhome.

Looking towards Anacortes

Laura is a big Heron fan, and Fidalgo Bay Resort has lots.


Marine Supply & Hardware Company - Anacortes

Earlier in the day I was out and about just sightseeing.  One of the must-visit spots in Anacortes is the Marine Supply & Hardware Company at the north end of Commercial Ave.  Founded in 1913, this store looks more like a museum than a going business.  Like a fan, I visit every time I'm in Anacortes just to see what is new.







The Marine Supply & Hardware Company is for sale.

Live well, Laugh often, Love much
