I love that area and North.
I've been to Orcas Island, going to my favorite winter spot, Victoria.

Orcas is a pretty nice place; my ex-Boss had a beautiful house, and hangar over there. I flew in lots of times to work on aircraft. However, I don't think I could afford to live there now...

Re: My ( Hardly ) Working Vacation on Orcas Island
Jim, I would love for you to come visit tomorrow! I need to go to Deer Harbor sometime soon to check out a '47 1 1/2 ton that I told the owners I could help them get running. I sent their carb and dist to CharlieNY.... I will take you for a spin in one of my creations.

Re: My ( Hardly ) Working Vacation on Orcas Island
Jim got it as a total wreck... It was rolled in an accident while racing. He does all the work himself, body, paint, mechanicals. He can do it all, and does, over and over again. I will give you a call.

Re: My ( Hardly ) Working Vacation on Orcas Island
Yes, I think it would suffice to say a grand time was had by all!
