Boating and Camping in the San Juan Islands, Washington - Part 2

We travelled to Anacortes and launched from Washington Park for a week of boating, exploring, fishing and camping in the San Juan Islands, Washington. Getting there is a bit of a chore for us, requiring going through Seattle, which always seems like a nightmare, but a week in the islands was worth it.
In part two we leave Sucia Island behind and move south to Jones Island where we camped for the rest of our stay. We cooked up a delicious lasagna in the Omnia oven and also explored nearby Stuart Island.

Very nice! I like your adaptations for cooking gear! I look forward to your further adventures!

Thanks for watching! We are looking forward to getting out again for an extended trip in just a couple weeks!

Nice video I love the San Juan’s used to bike ride some of them via the foot ferry

Nice

You guys are cool. We do this with our plywood boat and tiny kids haha. Maybe see you next season. ✌️

We'd love to make it back - still so many islands to see! Maybe next time we'll catch more lings.

Thanks for taking me back to my childhood memories. I was born in Friday Harbor while my parents were caretakers of spieden Island. 1950 to 1960

That must have been an interesting childhood! Glad we could bring back some memories of such a beautiful place.

Very well done and such a nice way to visit the San Juan Islands!

[@OccidentalistOutdoors]

Yes, definitely new to us, it was nice to get to some of the smaller less developed islands.

Having grown up with 20 feet and under boats in Puget Sound I can imagine running thru the San Juans with one and Camping. However in 2000 I sold my boat and did not get another until 2021. Upgraded to a 30 foot Bayliner Flybridge. Now after spending the last 2 summers boating I cant imagine anything less than this boat. Its soooo nice either using mooring bouyes or docking and your boat is your home vs luggin all that gear and sleeping on the ground on the island. MIght want to consider upgrading. BTW love James Island. The Bioluminesant is amazing

[@OccidentalistOutdoors]

Yes, for only boating Puget Sound a bigger boat would be nice, but it would be useless for most of the water we are on day to day.

Hi there! Thanks for sharing your trips. I was struck by your muffin/lasagna cooking device. Where did you procure this? What is it? Thanks in advance!

[@OccidentalistOutdoors]

That is an Omnia Oven. They sell several different inserts for it as well, such as the muffin insert. It works great! We have a few other Omnia videos as well. You can find it on Amazon or other websites.

Thanks for the video. I made a similar trip in my Hobie tandem Island sailing/motor kayak. Tones of fun. Wondering what boat you are using, how big. I was thinking about repeating my previous trip in my Lund boat. How much gear weight did you allow for the boat? I did my trip in September and had great weather. No rain except one night. Well done video.

We did the trip in a Hewes Craft 16' Sportsman with a 60 HP motor. We had no issues, but did avoid going far on the two small craft warning days we encountered. We likely had about 300 pounds of gear on the boat, including cooler with food and drinks, camping and fishing gear.
