Finding La Conner WA. From the south.
My first time navigating the La Conner Channel. Narrow, busy, fun. Avoided the big logs in the stream and the shallows.

Hole in the Wall
As a first time experience, when you're coming to the end of the channel at that point, where do I go? Then, as you say, "Hole In The Wall"! Many have run aground there because they wandered off to far to starboard, this party excluded. Glad you had fun and no running aground experiences passing through. Always a worry, especially when low tide is approaching. It appears, however, that you came through when the tide was almost in.

Yes. Our ride in was with more than 50% of the tide in. Had a later start from Everett due to fog in Possession Sound. Our departure was a bit more on the out going tide than I had calculated. We stayed in the center of the channel using the range market to the west. Worked great.
Hi John, you mean you missed the best part...north out of the channel?
Just kidding. Almost eight miles from the Shelter Bay entrance to the north entrance buoy. Perhaps another time.Just got back Saturday from a week in the islands. Mostly at Eagle Harbor on the east side of Cypress Island. Just love that place. Was waiting for my boating buddy to break his slip bond. He has had some medical issues and has not had his boat out of the slip for several months. Finally made it out for a rendezvous last Tuesday for a couple of days.
Always good to get out for some water time.
Great. They do and want permanent moorage customers, too. Transient guest moorage is $30/night, and but a short dinghy ride across the channel to the south end of La conner.
Sounds like John is on the mend..Haven't seen him in awhile...but I havent been around lately either.
Hi Mark, yes. Still a bit of a frail look about him, but much better. Dealing with his plaque psoriasis and vertebrae infection, but on the mend, as you say. I've been pushing him to exercise and get his boat away from the slip, which should help build his strength. Slowly returning to his old cantankerous self.
First time sail with my 2 and 4 year old daughters onboard - 2yr old looking out at downtown Milwaukee - looks like an old vacation ad.
