Tori and I had a wonderful 3 days on Orcas Island, in perfect weather. After the ferry ride and setting up camp, we took our two Point65 modular kayaks out on Cascade Lake at Moran State Park for a lazy paddle.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early on the second morning we drove up to Mt. Constitution, the highest point in the San Juan Islands, where the view of the Islands is amazing, with Mt. Baker as the perfect backdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also did a sea kayak tour out to Point Doughty State Park, accessible only by kayak. Early on the last morning, we did a nice lazy kayak float on Cascade Lake again, enjoying having the entire lake mostly to ourselves. All in all, with the weather being so perfect, it was a wonderful way to start the summer with my daughter. We’re so glad we got our kayaks, have been thoroughly enjoying them \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
