Depart Friday Harbour and meander through the San Juan’s into Lopez Sound for a quiet anchorage at Hunter Bay. Toss out the crab trap and catch your Dungeness crab dinner. Sit back, pour a glass of wine and start up the BBQ to savor a peaceful evening "on the hook" or a mooring buoy.

Cruise up to the East Sound to visit to Rosario Resort, a must when planning a boating adventure in the San Juan Islands. The Rosario Marina is located on tranquil Cascade Bay halfway up East Sound's eastern shore on Orcas Island.

Navigate through Hidden Passage into Rosario Strait to one of the many fingered bays of Sucia Island Marine Park. This is a 564-acre marine park with 77,700 feet of shoreline. Sucia Island is considered the crown jewel of the state's marine park system.

Depart Sucia and make your way back to Canadian waters to South Pender Island. Clear Customs at Bedwell Harbour then enjoy the luxurious Poets Cove Resort, Spa and Marina. Spend the rest of the day pampering yourself at the spa, lounge by the pool or listening to local musicians on the patio with a cold beverage, outstanding food and the energy of exceptional week on the water.

Depart Bedwell Harbour on your last day and enjoy a leisurely sail back across Swanson Channel toward Home, Port Sidney Marina. Stop at Sidney Spit for a BBQ on the beach and exploring the 400-hectare marine park, the long sandy spit and adjacent lagoon, forests and open grasslands offering a surprising variety of wildlife.
