San Juan Islands Pacific Northwest Flotilla
June 23 - 29, 2018
The San Juan Islands, an archipelago in the U.S. state of Washington known for rural Pacific Northwest landscapes and wildlife, is distinguished by lively seaside towns and a laid-back mellow vibe. The 172 named islands and reefs in San Juan County make up an area known for its pristine air quality, crisp temperatures and natural beauty beyond compare. Join South Coast Sailing Adventures aboard a luxurious monohull vessel as we visit horseshoe-shaped Orcas Island, Friday Harbor, and the old-growth forest of Moran State Park.
Departing Bellingham, Washington, vessels will sail the protected waters of the Salish Sea to the city of Victoria, British Columbia, and tie up at the famous Empress Hotel in the heart of the city. The trip includes a stop at Lopez Island for hiking and exploring as well a visit to the Rosario Resort on Orcas Island. Raft up, enjoy a beach barbecue, marvel at the abundant wildlife that often includes whales, dolphins, sea otters and bald eagles and find yourself swept away by the beauty and peace of nature.
Planned stops also include Lummi Island, Vancouver Island, San Juan Island, Lime Kiln Point State Park, and many quaint island towns featuring idyllic anchorages. This amazing opportunity for sailing, seamanship, adventure and exploration includes optional group activities such as campfires, potlucks, group dinners, a hosted reception and impromptu sailboat races.
Weather is generally mild in June with little rain and high temperatures are typically near 70. Breathe deep….relax….get comfortable…you’re on northwest island time.
