6. Sidney, BC to Friday Harbor, San Juan Island: Port Hopping

An easy pedal to the ferry port in Sidney. All the islands ferry info can be found at this link. https://www.wsdot.com/ferries/schedule/

We were on our way to stay with friends Necia and Tim who have a home on the San Juan island. Stopped to have a sandwich in Friday Harbor deli, and got a couple for the next day's ride. Good place. Good food.

Tim and Necia kindly took us to the Lime Kiln for an outstanding dinner which gave us a chance to catch up because it had been some time since we had seen each other. With the setting sun we were able watch the resort team lower the flags of the countries, state, and company that has been in control of this area. If you want to learn of the US-British dispute over these islands, google Pig War. It is a triumph of reasoned diplomacy over bellicosity.
