I grew up visiting the San Juan Islands when they were less well-known and not so developed. My grandmother had a primitive cabin (no electricity or running water) there and I learned to love eating Dungeness crab, steamer clams and other seafood. I thought everyone did that. It wasn’t til I was older that I realized how lucky I was. Visiting Lopez is like a taste of that life as a youngster and a chance to eat fresh Dungeness crab again. We had three days of crabbing last week and did pretty well. I think everyone had enough crab to eat and a bunch was taken home too!

They were well supervised when it came time to pull traps
That’s a keeper!

I’m one of those unfortunates who has never done any of this…other than camping (mostly redwood parks), so it is all interesting to me…..especially with dogs! Looks like you had a wonderful time. I would love to try kayaking, but not until after my next hip replacement…kayaking would be the first step to all the rest of the new experiences.
