Formerly MV Jolly Mon – The assorted ramblings of an owner of an old boat…
It has been a long time. And much has happened and some changes have taken place – some rather big ones, and all for the positive in my book. In my latest video I explain my absence from this blog and my YouTube channel, and share my latest “recipe”.
One of my favorite spots to drop the anchor in the San Juan Islands is likely Garrison Bay. I like the great holding bottom, the hike up Young Hill, and the overall history of the place. Another thing I like – it’s just around the corner from Westcott Bay and the Westcott Bay Shellfish Co.
I remember visiting the shellfish farm several years ago, when the place had fallen into disrepair prior closing for a while. Since 2013, new owners Erik and Andrea Anderson have poured a ton of work into the farm, making it a place that is a pleasure to visit.
In my latest video, I visit the Westcott Bay Shellfish Co., where I meet the folks who work the farm and enjoy some of their tasty shellfish. Check it out!
Summer is well under way, and warm sunny weather has been the reward for enduring a long, cold, and damp winter and spring. The first day of summer found me anchored in another one of my favorite spots in the San Juan Islands: Garrison Bay.
Aside from excellent anchorage, Garrison Bay offers a lot for a visiting boater, in a setting that holds a lot of history. In my latest video, I visit this San Juan favorite!
