Leaving Anacortes at Sunrise
|
We hopped in the car and drove 20 minutes to Bowman Bay, one of the beautiful parks within the Deception Pass State Park system. They reopened crab season every day until Dec. 31
st. This hasn’t happened in over 10 years so we toted along the crab net and took a shot at it from the pier at Bowman Bay. By morning’s end we pulled up a large Dungeness (must be at least 6 ¼” and male to keep) and two huge Red Rock Crabs (6 ¼’’– must be 5”, male or female). While showing two young boys how to hold a crab, Lizzie got the pinch of her life (yes, bloody…)! Learning what NOT to do can teach us just as much…

While Kathy fished for the Big One (salmon, please), Tessie and Liz picked enough black berries for two delicious cobblers. Bowman Bay also has a public float that is accessible only by boat. The Bay is just around the corner from the famous (and infamous!) Deception Pass. We ended up buying a Discovery Pass ($30) – this one-time fee allows you to visit any state park for a year. Sure beats $10 a pop!

The sheer force of the waters at Deception Pass is really something one must see in person. Yes, that means you must come and visit…
