We recommend staying for a few nights on Orcas Island
Saturday (30th Aug) or Sunday (31st Aug).
As early as Friday is cool too. We will be around preparing and having fun for a few days. You are welcome to join.
You can arrive as late as Monday (1st Sep), if you don't mind rushing from the ferry terminal to the venue.
Arrive on Orcas island
Celebrate for a time
Saturday & Sunday
State park & ocean exploration.
Optional campground feasting Sunday night at nearby Moran State Park.
Monday (1st Sept)
Ceremony and reception.
Depart
Monday night is an option... but you will be leaving the reception around 6:30 to catch the last ferry... to still be in Anacortes at 9:30 at night.
Tuesday morning is the best time to pack up and scram.
Tuesday around noon is the best time to be at the ferry terminal to leave Orcas for the mainland.
