There will be no difference in the availability of water and pumpouts in
Sept than in peak times. In fact, due to decreased traffic, it will be more
accesible. Sept. is one of the best months for cruising the San Juans since
the crowds are substantially less and the weather still fairly good.

Somebody gets unhappy a Port is a few hours away.

You are not in the Aleutians.

For $200 you can probably get anything you want delievered wherever in
the
San Juans.

The San Juans run almost year round if the weather is good.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm looking at Waggoner and see the limitations of hanging out
during the day versus overnight. It is difficult to sort out...
Not having been there. The reefs and obstacles are noted and will
be heeded. What bothers me most is finding places to replenish
water and to dump holding tanks. I figure that for the whole
seven days, I will not need Deisel fuel. Water is a key issue,
as I see it. So I am focused on how to deal with new water and
"old water."

supposedly, mid-Sept is the end of the normal season. So shore
services may be iffy. We'll see.

Thanks.
