Sailing The San Juans – Post 5 – (Part 1 of 4)

It’s been a little while since I updated here, and lots of animated gifs have been piling up. Too many to load on one page without causing problems, so I’m going to split this post into 4 pages. I’ll just put a “next page” link at the bottom to keep things simple.

Right now we’re in Deer Harbor but when we last left off, we were still in Fox Cove on Sucia Island. And we were just about to go look for fossils in the area they recently found T-Rex dinosaur bones.

So we got in the dinghy, went to shore and started hiking along a path that someone on shore told us about.

It was a bit of a hike, some significant up and down action with steep cliffs off to one side.

Jackson was having fun. But falling a lot, probably due to his legs getting tired.

I didn’t see anywhere you could find fossils, and the mosquitoes were scary intense so we turned back around and went to the bottom of the trail, along the beach. That seemed much more promising for fossil action.

We didn’t find any dinosaurs, but we did see some fossilized tree trunks.

And some super old sea shells lodged into the rocks.

Speaking of dinosaurs being found in this bay, the rocks on the beach look like dinosaur skin. Check it out.

On our way back to the dinghy we stopped at a big open field, and Lucky and Jackson ran around.

The next day we had breakfast. Jackson and Clover shared a bowl of blueberries.

Then we headed out away from Sucia.
