The rendezvous site is the Friday Harbor Ferry Terminal. Look for a large blue van with a circular orca whale logo parked next to the ferry terminal. We will drive to the launch site and paddle four to five hours each day camping from island to island. Our trip return time provides plenty of leeway for catching departing ferries. Friday Harbor is accessible by regularly scheduled air flights, tour boats, and ferries.
Most travel itineraries require passing through either Seattle, Vancouver, or Victoria.
Flight reservations on the small island carriers should be made far in advance during summer months. This will save you both time and money, but be sure to allow one hour for ticketing, parking, and boarding. No vehicle or bus is therefor required. However it doesn't suit tight travel itineraries and you may have to overnight. There are two places to camp on the island and reservations are strongly advised.
