Orcas Island is horseshoe-shaped. We were camped at the far end from the ferry terminal. We got up at five so as to be able to grind over the hills in time to catch the ferry at nine. We arrived in plenty of time only to find that the ferry was about an hour late. We took advantage of the time to have a big breakfast at the cafe. We had the unusual experience of seeing angels on Orcas.

The ride from Anacortes to Ft. Worden State Park at Port Townsend was another experience of climbing out of one cove just to coast into the next cove. The best part of the ride was Deception Pass, the narrow channel separating Fidalgo Island from Whidbey Island. Very dramatic setting. The bridge is so narrow that we were afraid to ride across - we walked.

Port Townsend is lovely. Old buildings beautifully restored. Camped at Fort Worden. We arrived too late for the office. Cold wind blowing. We were freezing. There are hot showers but you need to buy tokens to work them. Roy, the boy genius, tracked down the camp host and bought some tokens to save our lives.
