We have added sections on planning, packing, dinghies, anchoring etiquette, and other cruising essentials. If you want the color edition > copy and search this locator - ISBN-13: 978-1494968083 or try this - amazon.com/San-Juan-Islands-Cruise-Guide/dp/1494968088 - or click on - "See all 3 formats and editions" - Written by a boater, and for boaters that are planning to visit the San Juan's and surrounding area. All the parks, resorts, marinas, cities and launching ramps are included with reviews and suggestions to help fellow boaters explore, cruise and boat camp. Look for the kindle version and the full color print version The area from Bellingham to Deception Pass, La Conner to Butchart Gardens and Victoria to Friday Harbor is included. Favorite hikes and strolls accessible only by boat are covered, bicycling and kayaking suggestions too. Some parks and destinations are outstanding, while others are not, this guide will arm you with useful knowledge earned by the authors decades of exploring, gunkholing and hiking the area. The somewhat tongue and cheek articles display an honest assessment of destinations for your benefit. It is clear throughout this guide that the author (me) wants to help you enjoy cruising the area and has compiled what every Skipper and Admiral wants to know. Notably, "Which parks have docks and bathrooms, and where to buy food, fuel, and ice." Plus all the launching ramps and marinas to help get you on the water. This is the special expanded black and white edition with over 25% more pages that includes boating, camping, and cruising essentials for your next best vacation. Imagine yourself discovering unique exciting places accessible only in your boat. One last tidbit: You are invited to visit our web site www.sailingthesanjuans.com where you will find all the information contained in the cruise guide, but not near as orderly. News Flash! - Last 4th of July (2016) I was lounging on the finger dock next to my boat at Friday Harbor when a fellow boater approached me. He said, "I recognize - Kraken (Kraken's on the back cover)- I bought your book, and use it as one of my resources." We had a long enjoyable talk. He said he drove from Redding Ca. and taking my advice put in at Squalicum Harbor. Meeting a happy camper, made my day. Thanks! John News Flash! - (Dec 2016) We will have a new travel guide to the San Juans out soon. The new guide will be a "Land and Sea" guide and will be for all travelers. The original "San Juan Islands Cruise Guide" is still your detailed boaters bible to the Marine Parks. The new guide is titled "San Juan Islands Travel Guide." It includes shore attractions, e.g. resorts, campgrounds, villages, parks, and lots of local community knowledge to assist your bicycling excursions, kayaking paddles, hiking and overall visit. The new guide is a companion resource to our cruise guide - not a replacement. Boat travelers to the San Juans should own and carry both.

Day Hiking: The San Juans and Gulf Islands is divided into roughly four sections: Anacortes, for many the gateway to the region; the San Juan Islands themselves, including some key islands not served by Washington State Ferries; Victoria, Canada, providing easy access to the Gulf Islands, as well as other unique destinations; and the magical southern Gulf Islands. Author Craig Romano explores state parks, county parks, and provincial parks as well as some municipal and regional parks. He also features the recent expansion of San Juan Island National Historic Park on San Juan Island and the recently created Gulf Islands National Park Reserve, spanning several of the southern Gulf Islands, both of which are not yet familiar to many hikers.
