Deception Pass boat tour, part 1

I recently went on the hour long Deception Pass Tours boat trip. Deception Pass State Park is the most visited state park in Washington. Some three million vehicles go over the bridge each year, traveling between Whidbey and Fidalgo Islands.

It is also a popular spot for fishing. As we approached the bridge, we could see fishing boats in "the hole," a deep water area where salmon (hopefully) congregate. Our tour guide said the every-other-year run of humpies would be starting soon.

The tour begins at Cornet Bay at the north end of Whidbey Island. More photos tomorrow.
