Just got back as well.
We just got back last friday from our week long cruise. Our experience was very similar to yours. We chartered a 28' Bristol Channel Cutter and had an excellent time. We have two girls (2 and 6) and they had a great time in the water, looking for shells, watching the wildlife and of course sailing. . Our course was mainly the southern portion of the Islands, but we may have crossed paths at Deer Harbor or Stuart Island.
Day 1 Anacortes to Orcas Island Yacht Club in West Sound (7/22/06)
Day 2 West Sound to Deer Harbour to Jones Island
Day 3 Jones Island to Roche Harbour to Stuart Island (Reid Bay)
Day 4 Stuart Island to Wasp Islands
Day 5 Wasp Islands to Fisherman Bay
Day 6 Fisherman Bay to James Island
Day 7 James Island to Anacortes (7/28/06)
I had never sailed a Cutter before, so that was a fun. It took a while to figure out how to trim the sails to get all three looking good, but by the end of the week I was a pro at moving that 28 footer around.
We will be doing this trip again in the future.
