Sailing to Sucia and Patos Islands, exploring mysterious coastlines of mythical realms. Honeycomb sandstone rock formations are homes to pinnipeds. What is around the next corner? Tension in the sound of silence. We were guests in a land belonging to the creatures of Fossil Bay, Snoring Bay, Echo Bay and Active Cove. New places to explore, go ashore and stand in wonder and awe while sailing the San Juan Islands.
