Greetings;
From my home in Vancouver I have spent the last 10 years sailing the the cruising grounds of the Georgia Strait, from the Gulf Islands to Desolation Sound. Now in anticipation of our border reopening this year, I am turning my thoughts to the south. The San Juans are the obvious and most immediate destination but I'm hoping folks can share your favourite destinations between the border and as far south as say, Seattle/Tacoma, along with your general appraisal of the sailing. I have never been south of Friday Harbour in my boat.
One specific question I have is whether there is a marina or anchorage close enough to Seattle to warrant a night ashore downtown as the ultimate destination.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and advice you can offer.
