Unseasonably great weather

The atypical wonderful sunny and warm weather has islanders out and about without jackets and donning sunglasses. Popular pursuits include getting the boats and garden prepared for Spring. Here is what to do this week in the islands, for further information please check our community calendar link. http://www.sanjuancalendar.com/
Feb. 5:  Yesterday was the last day of the popular 2012 annual Salmon Classic Invitational fishing tournament at Roche Harbor. Someone who has had the pleasure of fishing in the smooth water in this sunny weather will have caught the winning fish and get a lucky $10,000 first prize, besides.
Feb. 5-18 is the 2012 Annual Islands Playwrights Festival. The abundance of fine writers and actors in the islands, many with experience in the greater non-island world, present a popular event for entertainment. This is made special by the fact that the actors and the playwrights may be well known by the audience members, and the topics may refer to well known aspects of island living. Or example, one play is about three women who plan an islander’s empty nest party when their children leave for college. This year there are six light-hearted plays, each of them about twelve minutes long. The event takes place at the community theatre in the evening at 7:30.
Coming up: for new boaters, there is a FREE comprehensive basic boating safety course for Power, Sail, and Paddle Boats being held at San Juan Island’s Skagit Valley College in Friday Harbor. It will take us six Monday evenings from 7-9 p.m. and begins on February 13th.
