The Swinomish Channel links Annacortes, LaConnor and Deception Pass. We left LaConnor and motored down the shallow channel to Deception Pass. Here we anchored on the East side to wait for slack water. Currents in Deception Pass can reach 8-9 knots. Something we wanted to avoid. On the other side we anchored in Bowman Bay. Almost a perfect anchorage except for noise of the traffic from the nearby highway and the low flying fighter jets from the nearby naval airbase.
Next day it was back to the San Juans and some familiar anchorages and then back across the border and back into Canada at Sidney.
