I've suddenly got a week to bareboat around the San Juans in August. Anybody have any
favorite places? Never been, probably leaving from Anacortes.

Its has been awhile, but good memories:

Sucia Island - beautiful anchorage
Hunter / Mud Bays - quiet anchorage
Rosario Resort - great restaurant
Fisherman Bay - interesting navigation into the entrance, difficult
anchorage
Friday Harbor - just because
Roche Harbor - upscale
Deer Harbor - good marina
Reid Harbor - nice anchorage
Matia Island - nice for a walk, strong current in the north bay

This is a busy time. The August long weekend will be the busiest.

You might think about a side trip to the Gulf Islands. Clear customs
at Bedwell Harbour. Clear back to the US at Friday or Roche.
