From Brian C.

"Working from home on Guidelines in Roche Harbor is a unique memory of this crazy summer that we love. Our favorite memory though is our first week cruise in the San Juans. Here are a couple of pictures around sunset in our favorite anchorage, Shallow Bay on Sucia Island!"

From Rocky G.

“We ducked into Bell Harbor Marina due to a weather induced, change in plans. After a great day playing tourist downtown in the rain ( how Seattle can you get?) We came back to this view. A very nice little, short notice, vacation with a wonderful urban view.”

"Photo of our new boat in the gorgeous San Juan Islands in Bellingjam, WA on a crabbing expedition! If I could send several photos I could add the crab! It’s been a fabulous summer with Andiamo and we are so excited we decided to purchase her!"

From Dan H.

"This has been the summer of resiliency. We started the year off purchasing our Cutwater C32, So Damn Lucky, at the Seattle Boat Show with visions of trips to the San Juans, Desolation Sound, among many of our other travels and commitments for the summer. Two weeks after taking ownership, Covid-19 struck, and shelter in place orders had been given. Slowly over the next few months, all plans we had for the summer went to the waste side, canceled due to the pandemic. No flights and certainly no boat trips to Canada. What had we done?

What initially had thought to be the worst decision ever, purchasing a boat in uncertain economic times, ended up being the best choice ever. The boat quickly became our social distancing home away from home. We’ve spent the majority of our free time on the water, fifty-five days, and over 200 hours of shrimping crabbing, fishing, and just having fun! A summer that will likely not be repeated but not forgotten.

So many memories made that there is no way to choose just one—a few of the highlights below."
