Wildlife in the San Juan Islands

February 4, 2020 By Ron

Wildlife of the San Juan Islands and the Salish Sea The San Juan Islands are home and host to a variety of magnificent wildlife. Some make their homes here year round, others seasonally, still others only infrequently. One never forgets their first whale encounter. Yet even for those of us who call the Salish Sea home and see these creatures often, it never fails to inspire a sense of awe. This is a gallery, a small sampling of some of the creatures you are likely to see from the deck of … [Read more...]

Island Wedding in the San Juans

December 12, 2019 By Ron

Romance on the High Seas! In Septermber, Captain Ron was called upon to do the honors for Travis and Jane. Both have long had a strong connection to the sea and to Sucia Island. So it was only natural that the idea of a sea-side wedding came up. Jane had inherited the trimaran Dizzy Fish, from her dad, Tom when he passed on. One of Travis and Jane's first sailing trips aboard Dizzy Fish had been to Ewing Cove on Sucia Island to scatter Tom's ashes on the beach. Together they planned their … [Read more...]

Neil Young and Daryl Hannah wedding

August 29, 2018 By Ron

You never know what you might see while exploring the San Juan Islands. Sure, you’re likely to see fabulous sunsets, nature trails and the occasional pod of orca whales.

Humpback Whale encounter in the San Juan Islands

June 10, 2017 By Mari

June is a great month to explore the San Juans on your own private sailing charter aboard Diminuendo with Northwest Sailing Adventures. The scenery is always spectacular, but even more so in the spring, when the grasses are still green and the leaves on the trees are fresh and new. Abundant wildflowers splash the islands with color. On Sunday, June 4th, we set sail from Bellingham and had a great day of sailing up to Sucia Island, where we anchored for the night in Fossil Bay. After a pleasant … [Read more...]
