To make July even more great, Krevin invited us to for a part of their San Juan island sailing adventure. We embarked on the Sea Eagle on early Sunday and explored San Juan and Orcas islands.

Day 1: We were picked up in Friday Harbor and had lunch outside at a cute Fish and Chips place. We then loaded up Sea Eagle and took a casual 4 hour ride to Roche Harbor.


Roche Harbor was a dream! We had a little vino on the boat and dinner at the cafe. We also walked around and visited the general store both on Sunday and Monday morning. I definetely fell in love with the place and can’t wait to spend more time here as we plan for Krevin’s perfect August wedding.

On our second day, we had one main mission… to see the whales. This brought us through the Harrows strait right into the super pod. Seeling the huge whales from a little sailboat was pretty amazing, plus a little scary when I stopped to think about it. After our FULL day of whale chasing and some crazy sailing, we returned to Roche for the night.

Finally on the last day, we got to do my kind of “sailing”, which actually meant motoring through the islands on a perfectly still, hot day while getting some much needed sun. We ended our time on the Sea Eagle on Orcas Island, leaving time for an ice cream cone at the ferry and a nice ride home. Thanks Kris and Kevin for inviting us on your vacation. I can’t wait to do it again!
