Nestled in at Bedwell Habour on Pender Island, Poet’s Cove Resort & Spa is a must-do any time of year. Their newly updated website has a gallery, live webcam (a little sleepy in the marina today!) and links to current specials – how does $99 midweek sound? The self-contained cottages each have their own hot tub, the villas are spacious and great for groups, and the lodge rooms have fabulous views. Here you’ll find Syrens Bistro, Aurora Restaurant, Susurrus Day Spa complete with a sandstone steam cave beneath a waterfall and an ocean-view hot tub, banquet rooms, 2 pools, a cafe and liquor store.
The best way to visit is by boat at their 110 slip marina. If you can’t swing the yacht, take a trip with Beth Campbell Creative client, Gulf Island Ocean Adventures. SCUBA, disc golf, winery tours, wildlife viewing, boating instruction…. you name it, they do it.

When September is looking you straight in the eye, it’s time to take a last minute camping trip. Kopachuck State Park was a random choice – I think I heard something good about Gig Harbor once? It’s about a leisurely 3 hour drive from Port Angeles. A lunch stop in Port Townsend was worth it for the pizza and architecture. Kopachuck is about 15 mins outside of Gig Harbor, Washington where the view downhill of a long harbor filled with boats and Mt. Rainier climbing from the edge of the sea makes for exciting arrival. Gig Harbor is a serene place with a history in boat building and commercial fishing. Today there are farmers markets, docks to wander, a decent choice of restaurants, shops geared towards boaters and 10 mins outside of town…. Target. Kopachuck is winner of a campsite, private and quiet, with a boat launch and a beach where the water is warm enough for swimming. Perfect place to recharge your creativity.

This time of year you can’t spend enough time outside or near the water. Add fine dining, an elegant room floating on recycled plastic bottles and cuisine from C Restaurant and you have what I would call a summer trifecta of perfection.
Read more about the floating dining room and make a reservation at inhabitat’s website or at C Restaurant’s site.

Today the sun is out and we’re going to *gasp* push past 20 degrees today. I’d like to be on the water on my way to a secluded destination. Have a peek at this 100′ yacht which had an interior overhaul by renowned architects Claesson Koivisto Rune from Stockholm as featured in the July/August edition of Azure magazine. Sleek, minimal and a little retro with walnut and white.

It was a drizzly and slow start to the Vic-Maui International Yacht Race this morning but that didn’t diminish the spectator’s awe as they watched their friends and family set sail for Hawaii. Could you do it?
Sonsie setting sail for Maui - good luck Chris, Kelly, Camilla, Donald, Brent and Serge!

Harbour at Saint-Jean-de-Luz
Saint-Jean-de-Luz is a fishing port on the Basque coast. Known for its architecture, sandy bay, amazing quality of light and the incredible cuisine. The streets are meant for strolling, packed with boutiques and cafes. I would imagine that Christmas in this town would be pretty spectacular.
