San Juan Islands Cruise Guide: Boater's Handbook for Cruising the Islands and Surrounding area
About the Author:JR Cummins lives in Portland, OR and has been an avid boater since building his first kayak for a seventh grade shop project.  Fifty years and many used boats later his decades long obsession with dragging his wife and children to the San Juan’s  has resulted in this guidebook.From one Boater to Another:We first came to the San Juan’s and surrounding area armed with a few old car traveler type guidebooks, and a  chart.  After five sailboats and two powerboats, the same,  now tattered, chart is folded in its second acrylic cover,  we are still making the rounds, and enjoying every minute.   Over the years we have zeroed in on boat camping, gunk holing, and exploring whatever we can reach by water.Our intention with this guidebook is to share our knowledge with other boaters. We have concentrated on “where” to go and “what” to see. You will need to supply the “who, what and why.” The pictures displayed are of family outings, and were chosen to convey the proverbial “one picture is worth a thousand words."The readable, large garish labels plastered across the map at the front of this guide are to help you stay oriented and locate all the parks and places to visit.I invite you to visit my website www.sailingthesanjuans.com (an ongoing work) Hopefully you will enjoy more story’s, more pictures,  more attitude, plus lots more.
