Kayaker's exploring Judd Creek on Vashon Island.

Kayaker’s exploring Judd Creek on Vashon Island.

The weather forecast was sunny and hot (90+), so we headed over to Quartermaster Harbor (located between Vashon and Maury Islands) for a quiet weekend. Dockton and the County Park, looked a little too busy, so we motored on around to inner Quartermaster Harbor and anchored off of the historic community of Burton on Vashon Island.

The harbor was tranquil and quiet with no other boats anchored anywhere near us. That’s my version of a perfect, quiet, weekend anchorage.

Old Floating Home on Judd Creek.

Old Floating Home on Judd Creek. Vashon Island.

We did drop the dingy in the water to do some exploring in Judd Creek at high tide. We found this very interesting old floating home that wasn’t floating any more. The submerged section of the lower floor is full of old bicycles. Who knows why?
