Deception Pass State Park

We have been enjoying "riding the tides" through Deception Pass. If timed just right, you can launch from the west beach in the state park, and the tide will suck you right through and under the bridge, then spit you back out. Our first visit to the bridge was a bit foggy but still the bridge is impressive, foggy or clear. (It's actually two bridges, which meet on "Pass Island" in the middle.)

Suanne (Gary's sister) and Mary took the kayak from west beach through the pass and under the bridge (cool way to see the pass) - we had a nice paddle. However, despite the weather report saying zero percent chance of precipitation and no thunderstorms, we had thunder and lightning - which picked up the pace of our paddling on the way back to the beach.

Here's a view of the bridge from the north point of west beach, near our launch point, and Gary in the Zodiak under the bridge.
