Any day that starts with a ferry ride is Good. We left Pt. Townsend for Whidby Island. The night before we decided to take the ferry, and while checking on fares and schedule, we saw that the last ferry not sold out was 8am. So we made a reservation.
Sharon saw the map of Whidbey waiting for the ferry, and decided that Deception Pass SP was our destination. We found that we couldn't see availability until 1pm, so we toured the three campgrounds. Along the way, we stopped and walked the Deception Pass Bridge, a cool old steel girder pair of structures, separated by a small island.
We were able to get a site in Bowman Cove, nearest to the water. And, also important, it's flat. Stopping early we had time for more hiking.
After a couple hours my back was suggesting me to give it a rest. Sharon wanted to paddle board, so I got her board out and pumped it up (well, the house battery supplied the power, I just connected the path to power). Sharon then walked to the shore and set off on a tour of the cove. I walked out to the end of the pier for a photo op for the paddler, but she never got close. I settled for setting shots, since it is such a beautiful setting to paddle around. The cove is well protected with one island and several tidal rocks breaking any waves that try to enter. The pier had RC sailboats that looked very cool.
