It had been over three decades since Kay and I last set foot on Jones Island. We made the short 2 nautical mile paddle from our launch spot at Deer Harbor. Although Jones has more amenities now they are truly improvements and the island still has its wild feel and is a wonderful place to explore on foot.
Spring Passage was like glass for our crossing.
We always enjoy the fantastic shapes and rich color of the arbutus trunks.
We were surprised to see cactus growing.
Speiden, Stuart, and the Gulf Islands in the distance.
Kay and I were surprised and very happy to see this ochre sea star.
It is the first one we have seen since The wasting disease decimated the population on the West coast a couple of years ago.
