Harbor Seal and Pup at Sucia Island.
We spent several days with Sea Eagle (and the flotilla) anchored in Echo Bay at Sucia Island, in the San Juan Islands. Sucia is one of my favorite spots (in the entire world) to hang on the hook. It is about as remote as you can get without crossing the border into Canada and is a Boat Only Marine Park that was purchased by many of the Puget Sound Yacht Clubs then donated to the State as a Park.
The Harbor Seals were out in force sunning themselves and their new pups along the rocky shores of the island.

Sucia (which is Spanish for ‘foul’) is rugged, rocky, full of dangerous reefs and beautiful. We had perfect weather and loved the wildlife and meeting out fellow boaters.
One night, we went ashore and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows (for smores) over an open fire. I had not done that since I was a youngster and we had a blast!
We also had a very pleasant visit with Don Stabbert and his beautiful 77′ Northern Marine Trawler, MV Starr.
Smores any one?
