Does anybody have a current status on the dock at Washington's Doe Island Marine State Park?

I found a blurb on the web at http://www.stateparks.com/doe_island_marine.html implying the dock may no longer be functional as of Aug. 30th, 2010.

We are heading out for some local cruising during the Labor Day weekend and subsequent week and would love to get on some of the State Park docks (far easier then anchoring out or hooking up to a mooring buoy w/ Hannah our 55 pound Husky mix dog).

We will initially be spending the weekend (Saturday & Sunday 9/3 & 9/4) at La Connor previewing things for next year's CBGT there.

Not really sure where to next. Eventually, we will head over to Sequim Bay State Park for the 9/9 - 9/11 Sequim Bay CBGT. Looking forward to seeing those of you who will be going!

Hopefully, folks will be back in school that week and the Washington Marine State Park docks will be far quieter and docks more available then earlier in the season.

Tanks for any insights you can provide.

Take care,

I talked with the park ranger at Sucia named Dave. He said due to budget cuts the dock has been removed for the last two seasons. The dock is stored at Cornet Bay. They plan on putting it back in when the budget allows.

Dan,

Check out Stuart Island, bays both north and south. State park sticker works there. Have a good time.

Thanks for the tip Harvey. Enjoyed your "Looking for the Oncoming Traffic!" picture in the Sequim CBGT thread.

I was initially looking at State Parks with docks on the eastern side of the San Juans since we will be staying at La Conner on Saturday and Sunday(9/3 and 9/4) and likely slowly working our way westwards eventually hooking up w/ you, the Clarks, and the rest of the gang heading to the Sequim CBGT.

Hopefully, we can hit a few of the WA State Parks and they will be a lot quieter - with dockspace available - then they were in July after the Bellingham CBGT.

Thanks again Harvey!

See you soon,
Dan, Tanya, and Hannah on C-Renity
