Cruising the San Juans

We have been cruising and anchoring out in the San Juan Islands which was described in one of our books as cruising among the peaks of a majestic sunken mountain range. There are no bridges to connect the islands just ferries and float planes.
After staying in Blind Bay on Shaw Island we were ready for a little civilization. We come over to the San Juan Island to Friday Harbor described as one of the busiest ports in the San Juans. This is also a customs clearing port when coming back from the Canadian Islands. We arranged to have our mail come here so we will stick around until that is delivered.
The town is very quaint with rolling hills and unique shops and restaurants overlooking the harbor. The weather is another thing………….temperatures still in the low 60s and today there is a steady rain. How I long for sunny and warm! Even the locals are complaining how cold it still is!
