ANACORTES, WA - - After 25 days in the Poulsbo area, it was time to leave our four furry friends and head on to new adventures.  Actually, we headed to another of our favorite places, Anacortes which is on the northern tip of Whidbey Island and requires a ferry ride.  Our destination, The Cap Sante Marina campground where we stayed 10 days in 2015 hasn't changed.
      It still offers a great price and is within easy walking distance of all our favorite coffee shops and restaurants.  The drawbacks are a long walk to the restrooms, laundry and showers plus no picnic tables or fire rings.  The close proximity of the marina...950 permanent slips and almost all of the holding sailboats...is what makes it so enticing.
     Friday (7/28) we took a ferry ride to Friday Harbor.  This has been one of our regular excursions nearly every time we are nearby.  The ferry ride and Friday Harbor hasn't  changed much...an hour trip with lots of boats and islands to see and the plenty of souvenir stores to explore for that "got to have' t-shirt.
     Today is Farmer's Market day and it's located about 100 yards away.  This market is largely based on what can be grown or made locally.
