We lived in Friday Harbor (San Juan Island) for a year. While there, we learned that a young Captain George Pickett faced off against British Red Coats in the border dispute on that island.

We sailed over from Deer Harbor for groceries. Pete and Susan of San Juan Canvas in Friday Harbor helped us make new sails for our boat. We were there back in the early to mid ‘80’s.

Yes.

Used to spend lots of time over at Roche Harbor.

Saw the American and British camps. Interesting. I remember all kinds of wild turkeys. And rabbits.
