June – Summer is finally here

They skies are going to mostly sunny all week and the air warm.  Come get away for a couple nights on Whidbey.  Play at the beach,  go paddle boarding , shop the boutiques,  taste some wine, eat out, catch a movie, sleep in….. what are you waiting for?

SUNSHINE and SMILES

Memorial day weekend started out a little cloudy….. but it’s beautiful now.

Sunrise this morning

Every day offers something unique.  Today’s amazing view is from one of the waterfront studio suites.  Boatyard Inn guest David McClean took this FABULOUS photo!!

Coffee on your private balcony with this view……. priceless!

Up close and personal

How lucky were these people today at Sandy Point? Several whales were mere feet from shore – nice to see how excited they were as they walked along the beach, following the whales. Photo is cropped – taken from over 150 yards away. Jill Hein aboard Mystic Sea.

At the Intersection

Wharf Street & Boatyard Lane

It’s a simple story
You’ve heard before
Of simple pleasures
Little more
Of eating well
And laughing well
Enjoying friends
And the tales they tell
Or to be with her
And she with him
And a tale of love
Which did here begin
Of sun on your neck
Or simply watching the rain
At the intersection of Wharf Street
And Boatyard Lane

Whale Watching

Time to come and see the Gray and Orca Whales as they feed and play offshore from the Boatyard Inn! Mystic Sea Charters is scheduling tours out of Langley Marina on Friday, Saturday and Sunday through March. Adding Thursdays and Mondays during April . Roll out of bed, walk to the dock and onto the boat! It couldn’t be easier!

Happy Valentines Weekend

Snow!!…..well sort of

Time to bundle up and head to the Island.  The views are perfect whether on a hike or cozied up to the fireplace with a good book.

Boats and Sunsets

With the snow capped Cascade mountains in the background…. the sun just setting and hitting the peaks is simply breathtaking.

A beautiful winter day at the Boatyard Inn.  Looking east at the Cascade Mountains and the Saratoga Passage.
