Today we awoke next to Spieden Island, en route to a very special location on San Juan Island. Friday Harbor is a small, seasonal town filled with interesting shops and several walking docks. A local harbor seal is famous and frequently is seen perusing the docks. Friday Harbor is home to The Whale Museum where we had the opportunity to learn about the wonderful wildlife that lives in the San Juans. Guests were invited to the polyculture land of Aurora Farms, where we interacted with animals and experienced life on a farm.
Born and raised on the edge of the Mojave Desert, Nick was accustomed to hot dry days, far from the ocean. Everything changed when he attended California State University Monterey Bay, a short 1.5 miles from the beaches of Central California. This is where Nick’s passion for the water developed and completely engulfed his life. He quickly changed his concentration in college to Marine Science, allowing him to further dive into the underwater world.
