Crane is one of many Islands not serviced by the Washington State Ferry system. It makes it very cool in my opinion. You have to go everywhere by boat. My Revenge at the private dock I was staying at. It services 3 houses and my host owns 1/2 of the dock space. There are about 60 lots on the island and about a dozen private docks. This is Wasp Passage and you are looking at Shaw. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d137/jmartin-/DSCF3320.jpg It's a blast when the inter-island ferry goes by. Really cool at night.

I wonder how long this beauty has been here? http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d137/jmartin-/DSCF3317.jpg All emergency and fire is up to who ever is residing on the island at that time. They had a drill when I was there. Had a chopper land at the tiny grass airfield and everything. Pretty impressive. John

A shot of where I stayed taken on a different day. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d137/jmartin-/092506007.jpg They call the "guest house" the Pod. What a nice location. The only down side would be dock exposure to wakes. John |

As always, fine photographs. The San Juan group is very beautiful. Do you ever run into Royce up there?...we don't see him around this website much anymore and I wonder how he's doing. Tony |

I met Royce once, in August of 2005 while fishing in Open Bay. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d137/jmartin-/DSCF0559.jpg I have not seen him since. John |
