We drop anchor in Garrison Bay. This is where the British were stationed during the “Pig War” that ultimately decided the border between the US and Canada.
After leaving Stuart Island, we paid an overnight visit to Garrison Bay at the northern end of San Juan Island.
Much of the land surrounding the bay is private, so no shore access. But on one side is San Juan Island National Historic Park. We like to go ashore at English Camp and walk to the top of nearby Young Hill.
Are you wondering about the title of this post? It refers to this guy, a Barred Owl I believe. He was watching us walk down the trail from his post on a nearby tree. From a distance, he was almost impossible to see.
